Stupid!

Sorry, no pictures in this post but you might be interested in this article if you are a cynic! My status as a cynic, means I was not surprised a bit, though still bothered by ignorance!

If you are an optimist you may feel a little dejected after reading about these poll results.

Here is the article titled: Most Americans Can't Name One Supreme Court Justice.

A few selected results below:

"More Americans could identify Michael Jackson as the composer of "Beat It" and "Billie Jean" than could identify the Bill of Rights as a body of amendments to the Constitution."

"A third mistakenly believed that the Bill of Rights does not guarantee a right to a trial by jury, while 40 percent mistakenly thought that it did secure the right to vote."

You can read more but you get the picture, right?
