Americans Don't Know Diddley

A recent study by the new McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum found that 22% of Americans could name all five family members in "The Simpsons", compared with just one in 1,000 people who could name all five First Amendment freedoms. About one in five thought the right to own a pet was included.

As AngryBlackBitch astutely observes,
This is great news, chil’ren! All this time a bitch has been harboring a secret fear that my fellow Americans understood the freedoms they were willfully handing over to the current administration.

Americans aren’t willfully handing their freedom over to Satan’s helpmate…they're just ignorant as a motherfucker.

It's a pretty startling statistic, and one that surprises me greatly. I really thought the First Amendment freedoms were something every American would know by heart.

But AngryBlackBitch's remarks have left me rolling with laughter here.
