If Ignorance is Bliss, Is Enlightenment Painful?

Sorry. I have nothing to say. Well...not nothing. But nothing earth shattering. Water is still wet. The sky is still blue (when not cloudy). It is still better to love than to hate. (Although a lot of people don't really seem to be able to appreciate that last one.) Republican politicians still seem believe that lying to, and cheating the American people is the way to win elections, smear those they consider enemies, and gain the power they crave. And the bears (according to Albert), still want humans to get the hell off the planet. Or at least, move out into the countryside so they can live in our houses.   
Most of us seem to be stumbling through our days, only seeing what is right in front of us. Too many people don't want to know what's going on. And I can understand that, somewhat. Most of us do feel a bit powerless to change things, and it is easier to go along with what is, than to fight for what isn't. But for all those who prefer safety and ignorance, I would point out that their lives are boring, and in many cases, ultimately pointless. I think raising a ruckus can, at least sometimes, be a damn fine thing. I don't advocate violence, you understand. But when something's wrong, I think one should make some noise.
And I do have to admit that there are times I wish I were a someone like a Batman, a dark super hero, who not only went after the usual criminals, but those evil-doers who use the system to their advantage to attempt (and sometimes succeed) grabbing power for their own greedy and selfish purposes.
For not having anything to say, I guess that's enough for the moment. Remember, if you just look at what's right in front of you, you're missing all the realities(yep, plural; life exists on many levels) of life that are happening all around you, all the time. Later, Dudes and Dudettes...stay out of trouble. Unless, of course, trouble is called for...
