16 people at my house tonight and only one other person knew how many Constitutional amendments there are. (interview, death)

And after the party, he immediately jumps on C-D to make fun of his guests. What a guy.

And not knowing the number of Amendments shocks you?

We all know that's not true at all. In fact, I defy you to find evidence of even ONE person who believes that

the Earth is 6000 years old and humans rode around on dinosaurs.

He says he has a very "political" family, whatever that means.
Can you imagine what their family gatherings must be like?

I don't want to imagine it. It makes me to think that he has children who are forced to live under that roof listening to his blather.

We are a very political family. We were discussing politics, R's vs D's.

I merely spoke up and stated the fact that WE are responsible for what is going on due to the fact that we have ignored the Constitution.

Just as all of your answers to lifes problems are in the Bible, ALL of our answers to our national problems are in the Constitution.

But I'M seen as a "radical"!

Well, then why don't you run for office? Call a press conference and announce that you know how many times the Constitution has been amended, and wait for the applause.

It is obvious that you made fun of those old men.

Say, try 'life's' instead of 'lifes'.

A friend emailed me one of those "history" quizzes the other day. That question was on there, early in the quiz, and when I saw it, I groaned. I thought, "Oh, no, not one of these quizzes again, with questions about minutiae that is irrelevant". I guessed at the answer (quiz was multiple choice) and I guess I got it right b/c I only missed one question and it wasn't that. I'm not sure that's the most important thing one needs to know about the constitution, unless one is a constitutional scholar.

Remind me never to attend one of your parties.

Plus one host that looked it up before the guests arrived.
