Well, that is definitely sad. Randy, I couldn't agree more. Sometimes I think we as a society are moving backwards. But what do people remember? American history should be better taught and Americans should know their country's history. Here is my little history quiz, can anybody answer these?
What dates did the following happen?
D- Day ?
Pearl Harbor?
Atomic Bomb being dropped? What cities?
Lincoln Assassination?
Kennedy Assassination?
MLK Assassination?
Other questions...
What came first, Civil War or Revolutionary War?
Date of signing of Declaration of Independence?
Largest signature on Declaration?
National Anthem name? Who wrote it?
How many stars on the flag?
How many original colonies were there?
A little harder one...
What day was the Constitution signed?

I could answer all these when I was still in high school and would not have had to stop to think any of them over. Reminds me of the George Carlin addage: "Think about how dumb the average person is and half of the world is dumber than that!"
