but isn't it nice to know?

i went out and about to get some comments from durbanites about tonight's state of the nation address. we spoke to young adults who are in the process of being educated, south africans at one of south africa's reputable tertiary institutions. 99 percent of those we spoke to had no clue about what we were talking about. we were met with blank faces, distant gazes and even a group who proceeded to get up and walk away from us!

seriously, if those who are being educated do not know, then why sould we expect the masses who do not have the lurxury of an education, to know? i think the point is not to know everything, but to take an interest in knowing. particularly when it affects you.
