Oh dear you are quite right I was raised on Long Island and you know us poor country bumpkins didn’t get much schoolin, far too busy pickin them thar tators.
You know American history? Ducky, that and a Metro-card will get you on the subway.
I could make a stupid joke and ask you if you were raised in Hicksville, but you and I both know that that is a dumb thing to say; though it's obviously on your level of idiocy!
Well, since knowing and understanding American history isn't worth squat, as far as you're concerned, no wonder you don't feel it incumbent upon you to actually know much of it. So just HOW did YOU ever pass a freshman and senior year high school Regents test on it? Perhaps you didn't pass them. LOL
