Default We have seen the enemy and it is *us*

Republicans? Democrats? Who endangers this country more?

It's us.

From today's NH Union Leader:

Quote:
Newsweek reported in its March 28/April 4 edition that only 62 percent of randomly selected adult citizens passed the test when given by its pollster. Among the most appalling findings: Only 30 percent knew that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land; 43 percent did not know that the first 10 amendments constitute the Bill of Rights; and two-thirds could not identify America's economic system as capitalistic or market-based.
That's scary. Scarier still - these un- or ill-informed people vote.
