Here is the plot description for “Freakonomics”:
Produced by Green Film Company and distributed by Magnolia Pictures, “Freakonomics” examines human behavior with provocative and often hilarious case studies brought to life by a dream team of Academy Award- and Sundance Film Festival-winning directors. Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing (“Jesus Camp”) balance levity and candor with their eye-opening profile of underachieving kids incentivized to learn with cold hard cash.
Alex Gibney (“Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room”) delivers a visually arresting look at the crumbling facade of sumo wrestling. Morgan Spurlock (“Super Size Me”) offers up a buoyant and revealing angle on the repercussions of baby names.
Finally, Eugene Jarecki (“Why We Fight”) investigates an unsettling theory to explain why crime rates dramatically dropped in the early 1990s. Seth Gordon (“The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters”) weaves the segments together with brisk interludes and provides context and commentary from authors Dubner and Levitt.

Ignorance is bliss...
I believe it is best to be educated, I get tired of the Ignorance is bliss argument. It isn’t bliss, it’s contagious, it spreads easily. While you may not be able to change everything, there are choices one can make to help make a change for the future.
educated
There are far too many idiots in the world. People should be educated about what’s behind the scenes so, at worst, they can make a well informed idiotic decision.
Do you believe we should be educated about what’s behind the sce
