I would have expected opposite results in terms of the age statement.

I am in that age group and I remember that morning so well, waking up in a hotel, while travelling on business. And turning on the TV to get the morning news from Fox and seeing the towers being hit.

I have to agree, and for much the same reasons.

We woke up the same way, in Seligman, AZ, on our way to Albuquerque.

Fortunately for us, we had driven across Hoover Dam on 9/10.

It will no more be forgotten than 12/7/41, even if I was born until 4 1/2 years later.

Now, as I watch Leno, I see college grads, some with fresh history degrees, others who are new teachers(!), who don't know the significance of 1492, 1776, 1861, etc.; nor even who was fighting in the American Revolution or WWII.

It is truly frightening to see the ignorance of the younger generations.

Yes, and we can thank the liberal academia for that. Their mission is to squash actual American history, to squash the principles this country was founded upon, and to mold this country into a socialist state, run by Marxist elitists --- them. Keeping real American history from our kids is part of the strategy of subversion, deceit, and induced ignorance.
