Oh yeah, you're right. It's not important to know who the Chief Justice is, or what country the U.S. invaded in the Middle East, or whether Saddam Hussein had anything to do with 9/11, or that black people are poorer on average than white people, or that George Bush opposes the Kyoto Protocol, or anything like that. It's only elitists who worry about those things.

"Ifnormed." I like that one. The rest of the comment is just not very well informed.
