I often wonder what the heck our kids are learning these days in government (public) schools. History lessons seem to have suffered the greatest casualties in the "revolution" that occurred after Georgia's contribution to the Oval Office--Jimmy Carter--formed the US Department of Education.
As a result, most people under the age of 40 think that we live in a Democracy rather than a representative REPUBLIC...But they are wrong in spite of what the NY Times and Washington Post say on their front pages.
Here's a couple of my favorite equations:
DEMOCRACY <= MOB RULE<=DEFEAT/TAXES/MISERY/IRRATIONAL INSANITY
REPUBLIC = RATIONAL SANITY=BITTER DEFEAT FOR THE COMMUNISTS/SOCIALISTS
Here's a little test for you to try:

I got a 9 out of 10 also, but I thought the Constitution was WRITTEN in '86 and approved the next year, but it wasn't.
