    I remember as a child hearing stats about what percentage of American adults could not name the current President, and I think I had some amount of disbelief. I mean, you’d think it would be near-zero. Then you factor in people that are extremely stupid or mentally disabled in some way and give some grace there. In any case, now that I’m an adult, I’m no longer a disbeliever in so many people being so very ignorant.
