St. Augustine said he has met a lot of people who were deceived, but never met anyone who wanted to be deceived. People want the truth about the world around them. No one asks for the wrong time.
Ignorance may be blissful, but it is never illuminating.

It depends on what the person is ignorant about. For example, being ignorant of a law is no excuse for breaking that law. The person would be arrested anyway. To remain ignorant is not smart thing to do, but it is not a crime in and of itself.

Freedoms in the US allow for anyone to be ignorant, or remain ignorant. I'm of the firm belief however, that stupidity should be punishable with pain.

To remain ignorant. If you willfully disregard all the information you have at your disposal, and choose not to inform yourself and make informed judgements and opinions, that's a crime. Would you buy a car after only looking at it sitting in someone's yard?
