That's pretty sad isn't it?

OK, the original queston should have read "I heard today that 30% of Americans can't correctly answer the year 9-11 happened - can that be true?"
It needs to be a true question to keep the Yahoo's happy.

That ALMOST doesn't surprise me. But it makes me wonder if that's the same 30% that think that George Bush and/or our government was involved in making 9/11 happen.
If they can't identify what year it happened in, can they complain that it's "too soon" for Hollywood to make movies about it?
Either way, YES, it's very sad.

I believe that people are more or less trying to forget it. Although it seems otherwise, 9-11 happened quite a while ago. Americans probably just want to forget about it- and leave everything else to the government.

sad, yes.
surprising, no.
seems like we have short memories if something isn't impacting us on a regular basis. another big attack and people will be able to quote the exact time, location, day, month, year as it moves back into center stage. after all quiets down, it will fade back into the background until next time.

If it's true, than it's hella sad. But then again, unfortunately, there are alot of ignorant Americans.

Liberals aren't exactly the best and the brightest among humanity.
