Not knowing any better.

I’m thinking. Seriously. About shutting myself off. For a week or two. From the media. No TV. No newspaper. No radio. No Internet. Instead, I’ll listen mostly to blessed silence. Interrupted only by tranquil and soothing music. It’ll be a plus. Not knowing what’s going on.  Could have a positive effect on my morale. Discovering that ignorance is bliss. Some of the dumbest people I know are happy. Apparently, they don’t know any better. --Jim Broede
