I hate ignorance, but the only times it really pisses me off are: closed-minded ignorance (when people may or may not know they're ignorant, but are absolutely confident that they are right, and no one else could ever be right who doesn't agree with them) and willful ignorance (when they know they are ignorant, they have chosen to be ignorant, and they are proud of being ignorant).
BTW, am I the only one who, when faced with the question "Does ignorance make you angry?" really wanted to answer "I don't know, and that makes me mad!"
Just me? Anyone? Anyone?
Bueller?
