southsider2k5 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Before clicking on the link, how many of you can name the 5 tentants of the first amendment. Nationwide it is one in one THOUSAND. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4761294.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 1 in 1,000?!?!? Even I know the 5 tentants......wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I can understand Americans not knowing all five. I couldn't recall 'petition for redress of grievances.' It's equally as understandable to recognize popular culture figures over constitutional rights. Most come across The Simposons more than the discussion of the 1st Amendment. But for 20% of Americans (surveyed) to believe the right to own a pet is a right established within our constitution is pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I mean I thought it was common sense that the right to own a pet was added as an Amendment to the constitution a few years back!

I couldn't name "petition for redress of grievances" either, but the other four i would think most people would know...apparently they don't know em though.
