It's pretty appalling to keep finding out that so many Americans know so little about our history or our government.
The citizenship test has some of the easiest questions ever - stuff I was taught in grade school - starting like in 3rd or 4th grade.
Nobody's asking you to present a full dissertation on the details of our little experiment in democratic self-government, but holy crap, people, c'mon - ya gotta know some of this to be at least kind of effective in the whole democracy thing.
Democracy is not something we have
unless it's something we do.
And we have to know something about it
to make the damned thing work.

The next time you hear somebody shit-talk immigrants for not knowing enough about USAmerica Inc, ask them a few of those questions.
