Wednesday, February 28, 2007 Ignorance is of a peculiar nature; once dispelled, it is impossible to re-establish it. It is not originally a thing of itself, but is only the absence of knowledge; and though man may be kept ignorant, he cannot be made ignorant…. It has never yet been discovered how to make a man unknow his knowledge. — Thomas Paine
