I think true ignorance is not knowing something you have not seen or heard. Stupidity, on the other hand, is having the necessary knowledge but acting ignorantly anyway. Ignorance is a fact; stupidity is a choice. What is your view on this?

They both mean the same thing.
The have different meanings but people confuse the words.
Here is what I think:

Ignorance is a choice, stupidity usually isn't

The base word of ignorance is to ignore, or to be aware of but not heed, while stupidity is the inability to heed possibly due to a mental deficiency...or a lack of ability to focus...that's my take on it...

Ignorance was supporting Bush in 2002.

Stupidity is supporting Bush in 2006.
