If you say people are ignorant, then by implication I am included......and to be honest I don't think you clarified it as you have done here by adding the phrase
'of the effects of the cuts'....or certainly that isn't how I read it.
I have said before, the internet is very unforgiving, in that, it doesn't allow for the nuances of face to face speech....and as such it is remarkably easy to give offence.
You could have avoided this in a very simple way by adding the word 'some'. As in,
some people are ignorant of the effects of the cuts....better still would have been some people are uaware of how the cuts in art funding will affect their lives.
Then you could have strenghthened your case by educating those whom you deemed ignorant.
You could have outlined why
you think Art is an important aspect of daily life...it is obviously important in your life......perhaps less so in the lives of others.
