An
unconscious people, an indoctrinated people, a
people fed only partisan information and opinion
that confirm their own bias, a people made morbidly
obese in mind and spirit by the junk food of propaganda
is less inclined to put up a fight, ask questions
and be skeptical. And just as a democracy can
die of too many lies, that kind of orthodoxy can
kill us, too.
-- Bill Moyers

dissipate is certainty, whether of knowledge
or ignorance.

We
