That was my thought when I read the following headline:
"Poll: Americans Know More About 'Simpsons' Than Constitution"

Darned embarassing, I would say. and the whole world seeing dumb
s*&t@ like Bodie Miller sure doesn't help things. I'm not suprised
the rest of the world thinks we're dumb.... Hell, I think we're dumb
and I'm one of them....

That's not as bad as less than 50% of US High School *graduates* can name 10
states east or 10 west of the Mississippi River, let alone know if the state
that they live in is east or west..... (that would mean that they don't know
where the Mississippi River is, let alone where their state is located on a
map)
Isn't there a term "the dumbing down of America"????
so sad... :(

On the positive side.... at least you've got a written constitution!
Unlike our 'unwritten' one over here. Very easy to ride roughshod over the
unwritten one we have over here, as is repeatedly done and being attempted
to be done by BLiar...
