"where his leg should be, there's nothing but patrick duffy"

Is America failing the children?  20/20 seems to think so.  But i have news for everyone.  Kids these days are just dumb.  Anyone who doesn't know why the civil war started -- or calls it "the war of northern agression" for that matter -- is just dumb.  how do you not pick this stuff up?  ok, maybe dumb is too strong. the problem is that no one values learning anymore.  being smart isn't cool.
