Greetings to My Readers! I am launching this blog to help counteract...what I see as...a catastrophic LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!
I endeavor to fight ignorance on any subject that I can research, consider/contemplate, or gather new ideas about, to share with those who want to learn. This blog series is mostly going to be fun, it will sometimes be serious, maybe make you angry or sad, hopefully stimulate questions and interests on important American issues. Knowledge comes with a price, meaning now you have to act like you know once you know, or you become part of the problem. The alternative is not the "bliss" of ignorance, but rather the "cost" of it because in American society, a lack of knowledge can undo us as a nation, can undo families, and can cripple individuals' forward progress in anything!
Today's knowledge seeds start with select quotations from a brilliant American writer, W.E.B. DuBois. In this election year, it is more important than ever that we remember what America IS, and defend our freedoms as citizens of a country that allows freedom, nay DEMANDS freedom for all her people! It is OUR fight to keep it real and to keep struggling forward for what we have not yet achieved as a people...Our Constitution is only a blueprint for the opportunity to be free but we have to understand how to use our citizenship to maintain our freedoms and then DO SO. We set freedoms in motion as America's people, using knowledge to make choices worthy of such a chance.
“Either America will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy the United States.”
“There is but one coward on earth, and that is the coward that dare not know.”
“The most important thing to remember is this: To be ready at any moment to give up what you are for what you might become.”
“The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression.”
“Herein lies the tragedy of the age:
Not that men are poor, - all men know something of poverty.
Not that men are wicked, - who is good?
Not that [wo]men are ignorant, - what is truth?
Nay, but that [wo]men know so little of [wo]men.” ([] brackets added)
