Sadly, I’d say that ninety percent of America would fail a simple quiz on the top ten events going on presently.
You could quiz all one hundred Senators, and I think most would fail a test on the Constitution.
As for the media? They are simply confusing people more than helping.
The day when Paul Harvey could convey all the information you needed in a mere eight minutes, and you’d grasp national events easily....are long gone.
Went to a Boy Scouts fundraiser over the weekend. Someone had donated a box of Hostess Twinkies for the live auction. Lady sitting at the next table said, “Why would they auction those off, you can buy them at any grocery store for less than $5.00 a box.” Several people overheard her comment and just shook their heads but one young Scout mentioned that obviously she did realize the importance of the Hostess Twinkies and proceeded to tell her. Her response, “Are you sure about that? I never heard anything on TV about it”.
