The ignorance of today's "average" Americans continuously amazes me! I was speaking a few weeks ago with a girl who did not know who the first president of the United States was! She is about 22 yrs old and grew up in a rural setting on a farm. I gave her a bunch of shit for it and her reply was, "yeah, well at least I vote unlike a lot of other people my age". I told her she shouldn't be voting if she doesn't have any idea who our first real leader was! I could see her as one of the people on this video.
The big question: how do you educate the "average" American?
