Im asking Steve to weigh in with his opinion. However, if he believes that ignorance is bliss, than he can deal with the consequences. Just because he makes a lot of money ofrom his blog doesn't mean that posters on his forum shouldn't try to challenge him intellectually...
Steve position isn't one of ignorance. Ignorance is a state of powerlessness.

Lets take the Dalai Lama. Do you think he is ignorant of the evils that happen in Tibet? He isn't bit he still is happy all the time.
It is a different way than the traditional american thinking about politics but it isn't necessarly any worse.

But even the American system knows the conept of Ballots where you don't know what everyone else has voted.
Following that principle you also don't have to say in public which of the candidats you vote for.

The only explaination was that google sent it through and Steve can't control all the content of the ads?
Steve can block Ads from certain sites on a case by case basis, but because there is a huge amount of advertisers Steve doesn't spend much time controling them.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
