I don't know anything about a lot of things, but I don't think it's a problem until it comes to economy and politics, I see you guys discuss these things (Stock, taxes, health care, employment, etc) and I get depressed, did you guys have better education? or did you teach yourself all of these important stuff? 

What should one do to improve? help!

read newspapers, real ones.

Don't feel bad, you're a cat dude.

So from what state do you hail, Mr. U.S.  Senator?

This. NYT and Wall Street Journal are a good place to start.

LOL.

don't watch mainstream media.

You're not alone, except I choose to remain in ignorant bliss.

I don't even understand this

it's not worth the stress.

it's all about paying attention to the world around you, watch the news, watch cspan. educate yourself about the world.

politics isn't about education. it's about being educated about the things in life that matter the most to you. go to the political forum, and and read some of the threads and post.

you're still better off not wanting to knoow, but you don't want to be nieve either.

A lot of people just copy and paste stuff they see on stuff and on TV. Most of them don't know what they're talking about.
