do we choose to be ignorant?

Thought I would share with the Blog readers two documentaries that I've seen recently. Both of which caused me to think. This is good. 


The first... Earthlings
Here is the link to watch it. WARNING: it's pretty graphic.

   -"...ignorance has prevailed so long only because people do not want to find out the truth. Don't tell    me you'll spoil my dinner. "


     -"Its not the inability to find out what is going on, as much as a desire not to know about facts that may lie heavy on ones conscience, that is responsible for this lack of awareness."

The second... Inside Job. Get a hold of it somehow. This opened my eyes and helped me understand the recession of 2008.  Are we really doing anything to recover from the meltdown??

  1. B and I just watched "The Inside Job" this weekend, it was pretty interesting. I'll have to watch that other movie.

    I keep trying to eat vegetarian but it's so hard being married to someone who loves meat. Did you ever see Food Inc?

    I just heard about a movie on the same topic coming out next month called forks over knives http://www.forksoverknives.com/
    it makes me want to be a vegan.

    and on a non food related note "God Grew Tired of Us" is a really inspiring documentary we just watched, it puts life into perspective.

    ok that was the longest comment ever. :)
