Every person is ignorant about far more things than they
understand well, as is well put in the sayings:

        A man who knows not and knows he knows not is a wise mane.

        A man who knows not and knows not he knows not is a fool.

One of my favorite quotes, which is particularly apt today in
light of the ignorance being displayed in D.C. is:

     It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after
     all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider
     to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to
     have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while
     remaining in this state of ignorance.  -- Murray N. Rothbard
