I think you give the general population more credit than me. I would be suprised if 39% could find New York on a map of the US, much less do math slightly more advanced than 2+2. I'd bet less than 39% could explain how the 3 branches of government work, or what a black hole is. Ask who the finalists are for American Idol, however, and that percentage is significantly higher. In general, about science and math and "school stuff", people are dumb. I think 39%'s not bad, all things considered. I just hope the registered voters come from that 39% and not "the rest". -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:288230 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
