Are you smarter than…

Pew News IQ quiz here.

Eleven questions. No tricks.

Interesting and simple test. It’s astonishing that so many people got less than half right.

These results say that 80% of the (voting age) public doesn’t have a clue – and that’s pretty scary.

Test your knowledge with 11 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did.

There are age and demographic breakdowns at the end.

No wonder politicians and fear mongers take such advantage, or maybe they are as ill-informed as those they attempt to “inform.” An even more frightening thought.

So much hate, so little time

In the name of Father, the Son, and the M-16. The answer to everything they disagree with is the sawed-off shotgun salute. And yet when people die due to what they say, they claim no responsibility. Cheap men with cheap mouths and cheaper morals.
