FTFY

Americans know surprisingly little about their governmentmuch of anything, survey finds
Surprisingly? How fucking much ivy has grown over the windows of your ivory towers, academics?

Moments later: From the things I should know not to click file, a glibertarian buffoon concludes voter ignorance is rational (& I don't disagree w/ his conclusion, "that, for most people, it is perfectly rational to pay little attention to political issues, because the chance that any individual voter influence electoral outcomes is infinitesmally small") but he (of course) concludes that this is yet another inane reason for smaller gov't. Not "news," exactly, but a prime example of that sort of thing.

    In fact, paying attention to politics is what allows hopeful idiots to post stupid things about "A constitutional amendment to put an end to Citizens United"!!!!112 n similar shit.

    They really need to go back to cartoons and Dancing with the Addicts...
