Learning takes work. Ignorance is easy.
When I was a kid, my parents told me that learning is important.
At the time, I didn't really understand what they were saying, but I tried.
Yoda said, "Do, or do not. There is no try." So, even though I didn't grow up with Yoda's wisdom, I came to understand the importance of learning.
And perhaps the most important thing I learned is that learning is a lifelong endeavor.
There's an old-world saying: "You're either a fool or a knave."
A fool is an ignorant person, -- A person incapable of learning or acquiring knowledge.
A knave is a villain. A prick. And sometimes, a really cruel, evil prick.
Most people who have spent some time learning, grasp the concepts of right and wrong, good and evil.
Ignorant people are apparently incapable of recognizing a cruel, evil prick.
What has amazed me is how many ignorant people there are in America.
Who could have imagined that an ignorant, narcissistic, and totally cruel, evil prick like Donald Trump could ever have gotten elected to anything?
Yet, here we are. A horror in the Oval Office. And education/knowledge being spit upon by knaves who number in the millions.

Too bad so many took it as an anthem against learning and an excuse for being ignorant. If only they understood the real meaning of the song they might realize they are being played. Not that the song caused this idiocracy in America, they just heard what they wanted to hear and disregarded the rest.
