Can you name the five members of the Simpsons family?
Can you name the five (I count it six, personally) protected rights in the First Amendment?
You should read this news story.
In a survey of 1,000 Americans, it was determined that one in a thousand could name all five rights. (which means only one did, but there was a +/-3% margin of error)
Roughly 25% could name more than one right.
Over 50% could name at least two Simpsons.
And about 20% thought the right to a pet was guaranteed in the First Amendment.
Speech, assembly, press, petition (to redress grievances), no state establishment of religion, and no prevention of the free exercise thereof (the final two lumped in as one in their tally); Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. But we already know I'm a freak. I may as well wallow in it.
