How can people be so stupid? I marvel at that. See I think you have to work as being ignorant - and if you're gonna work at being ignorant why not work at being informed?
I think it's important to travel around in order to get a notion of what's going on to find out what people are think about. I enjoy talking on campuses most because people are more informed and discussion is generally livelier.
More than 20 years on sustained competition informed customers and the rapid growth of new technology provide the necessary environment for substantial deregulation.
We all rely on technology to communicate to survive to do our banking to shop to get informed but none of us knows how to read and write the code.
Don't underestimate questions from the crowd technology has made voters more informed than ever.
My father also happened to be an intellectual as learned literate informed and curious as anyone I have known. Unobtrusively and casually he was my wise and gentle teacher.

If you look at the purported dangers of salt or fat there is no consensus of support in scientific literature. So I would ask first: 'Is it possible to have an informed government that actually follows the science?' From what I've seen it's not likely.
Informed by our sad experience of history we require nothing short of a foundation for lasting democracy.
I don't feel particularly comfortable about actors using whatever power they may have to push their beliefs unless they're extremely well informed.
