My friend made this video a few days ago asking random Americans in Hollywood, CA some general questions about US Amendments, and none of the knew even the 1st, 2nd, and 13th Amendment was, along with questions about US currency. It's a sad and funny video at the same time.

Captain America doesn't know whos on the $10 Bill. Proving Americans aren't stupid #3 - YouTube

Hopefully you guys, and the general American public aren't this asleep.

At least he said Ukraine at the end. There was one guy in a earlier video who said "Mexico", then "What kind of country?". Really sad.

Here's a similar video from Jimmy Kimmel's Lie Witness News.

Well the REALLY sad thing is that so many of the politicians running things don't know anything about what's in the US Constitution.

Maybe Americans are losing their enthusiasm for this country because of what the politicans are doing to it.

And the really sad thing -- in that Justin Bieber one, you could replace his name with Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and 99% of democrats would say the same kinds of things those young girls were saying.

And that folks is why we are where we are.

In all fairness, however, I'm sure we rank high in "self esteem". It ain't all bad.
