I used to think "ignorance is bliss" was an observation, but I've realized that for most people it seems to be an actual guiding principle... like most people seem to actively organize their lives around avoiding learning things they are certain it would be unpleasant to know.
Now that they've kidnapped the president of Venezuela, strangled Cuba's economy, and sent paramilitary forces into US cities to shoot and kidnap immigrants, they are doing the Beyonce thing for Latin America. Like clockwork.
