An informed society will... (#1166)

What will an informed society do? We don't have the luxury of knowing the answer to this question since we have not been able to have an informed society in the history of our country. Sad really, since the availability of information had been widespread until recently. Now we have organizations that are allowed by law to spread misinformation in the place of information. If having failed at spreading information in hopes of educating our populace, we now retract information and spread disinformation in it's place as another way to educate our citizenry? Absurd logic and even more troubling. Instead of improving on accurate information and finding new ways to help engage our society to learn it, we instead are now in the process of denying information and force feeding our conclusions on people. What a step backward in our evolution. I can only conclude that ulterior motives are in play and these motives are not in our society's benefit as a whole. The momentum toward an elite society overcoming our democratic one is real and should be stopped at once. Getting that information to the ones who have failed to learn as a rule will be difficult as they are blinded by other factors. The real sense that this is a priority of the utmost should give those of us who see our democracy slipping from our founders desire and our real world application, an over-powering hope. Some determination is required, and mandatory to halt the unpatriotic advance of forces allayed against democratic principles. An informed society will or should be aware of how pure and simple our democracy works when it is championed by all of us.
