Yeah, ignorance is bliss, but, while the premise is fundamentally flawed, I'll direct you to Idiocracy about what happens with an uneducated populace.

I'll second this.

The world isn't in great state, so watching keeping up on whats going on is by definition somewhat depressing.

Its important for me in my "democracy" to keep up with whats going on a bit so that I can make a somewhat informed decision come election time.
