It's so sad

Until the internet arrived I didn't know what a mass of the population was so poorly educated.

When people are so poorly educated and haven't discovered they can think for themselves, or learned to communicate well, they get brainwashed by others into an 'us-vs-them' mentality in which they can be manipulated to follow whichever fool leads them on; even into bloody, murderous, flag-waving wars. It's so sad.
