Ignorance all around us

It is unbelievable what people would do out of ignorance. Someone would post a topic on a public site without first researching the material that they posted, it turns out to be extremely vulgar and pornographic and leads to their job termination. Another would "advise" a friend to go forth with a business transaction, only to have the later crash and burn because of the ill advise. A third would choose a career path, or education path just because it's the "trend" these days, and suffer 20 years of having to work in a job they can't stand.

Such people make me feel sorry for them. None of those people would have faced any kind of hardship have they even stopped for a second to consider what they are doing. A simple Google search would have provided them with enough information to make an informative decision.
But alas, not all people have the capibility to pull the brakes and think "wait a second, what am i doing? is it sensible? would it benefit me?"

Ah well, i guess that we NEED those people. Because after all if we didn't have our village idiots, ordinary people and wise men would be harder to spot, right?
