You did say "internet generation" which led me to consider that no generation alive has had more information at their fingertips and uses it less. A Wikipedia search provides facts, but not context, and it is the duty of primary and secondary education to provide the bones of context instead of the fluff that they do.

That said, I got all the answers right except for the Treaty of Versailles, which was signed in the Paris Hilton. What do I win?

I totally agree with all of you, it is shameful to say the least. All that easy info, are people that lazy and uncaring? Sad.

>>>A Wikipedia search provides facts...<<<

Just heard that Tom Harkin, Senator from Iowa had his "staff" expunge from Wikipedia the inconvient fact that he had never flown in combat, contrary to his campaign claims.

And then he has the ballz to try and castigate Rush Limbaugh on outing a true "phony soldier" - and distort it into an attack on all troops that disagree with the war.

Wikipedia....hides a lot of facts. But it's handy.
