Thank you, Jay Leno, for reminding us again why we wind up with the morons who claim to represent us. It's simply because that there are morons who somehow are allowed to vote.

We don't teach history, economics or anything really important correctly - but I guarantee that these fools know everything about the latest celebrislut "news."

Even the 'College Professor' didn't know.

Sadly we have similar examples in the UK. Not that I can find any history examples at the moment, but I found these others;

What is Britain's highest award for valour in war?
Nelson's Column

It's an accurate observation. I suspect that you, like me, were also taught to write coherently, read voraciously and above all, think for yourself with critical intelligence - skills that no longer are taught in America's decaying miseducation establishment, which is more interested in turning out sheeple than people.

To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.
