Dumb and Dumber

Roughly one-fourth of people in the USA don’t know that the original settlers declared its independence from Great Britain, according to a new Marist poll, which says 26% of people in that country don’t know that the USA declared its independence from Great Britain. That includes 20% who were unsure and 6% who thought the U.S. separated from another nation.
So what country do people think the U.S. achieved its independence from? Among the countries mentioned were France, China, Japan, Mexico and Spain. The poll surveyed 1,004 Americans in June and had 3% margin of error.
Having lived in America, this comes as no surprise, The hourly news consists of one half hour national news, a half hour local news and before it closes 60 seconds of World News, and that’s on ABC, NBC, CBS etc.
Most Americans never leave the USA, few have passports and really don’t care about the rest of the world, unless it’s fighting (peace-keeping) there.
