Ha. Well-educated population.
I was educated yesterday by my coworker in how little Americans really know. I spent the better part of the day explaining basic politics, religion (not proselytizing, just -information-), and science to him. He thought that evolution occurred after the time of the dinosaurs, that Obama was Muslim, that Palin was Obama's VP pick, that McCain wasn't old, that there wasn't a single Christian that wasn't Catholic, and many, many more.
It made me sad.
Oh, and by the way, he told me I should run for President just because I understood all this. He thought I was brilliant and qualified to lead our country for knowing basic facts.
