EU: Should the UK Leave or Stay?

[abaris]

For me the former is ignorance and it comes in two kinds -- the one kind I think is just being unaware, naive, ignorant in the sense of not knowing the fact, unintentionally. The second kind I think is far worse -- willful ignorance, usually due to an agenda and/or a lack of curiosity.

For me the latter is unintelligence.

No, these people can be as smart as the next person. It's authority persons feeding them with their kind of opinionated bullshit and since it meets their precoceived notions, they gobble it up like manna from heaven. In many cases, they're rather young or simply lacking in education. That doesn't make them stupid or unintelligent. It just disables them from looking any further than what their gut feeling and fears tell them.

As far as the EU goes, if I'd followed my gut, I would long be in the camp of the exit. If I thought for a second, it would improve my life in any way, shape or form. But looking at the available information and what it would cost us to leave, I'm defending what I don't like in it's current form. It would be me, along with all the other common folks, paying the bills. And that's certainly not what I'm campaigning or striving for.
