My First Web Rant.

I don't normally step out to the internet to voice my opinions or rant about things I see wrong with the world, but sometimes enough is enough. Lately it seems as if the world is getting extremely dumb. I like to think that we as a society are not dumb or stupid, but just ignorant. We know what we know and we don't need to learn anymore. I highly disagree, unless you can prove you know everything, then there is more to learn. I don't know everything and try to learn something new everyday. I don't expect anyone to know everything, but I do expect people to at least try. By learning new things you may very well improve your position in life without even knowing it. Plus it can make you more independent, something we as a society lack. We rely on everyone else to know things so that we don't have to. If we continue to do this then no one will know anything. As we have all seen with the economy lately, increaing ignorance and lack of personal responsibilty has put us in a serious postion that if continues, will crush our country to a point we may not be able to recover from.
