Caitlin Upton should feel very proud today. It seems she's not the only young person in America who appears to be a little less than informed. Christian activist and author Mark Dice dropped by San Diego State University to see how many of tomorrow's leaders know what year 9/11 happened.The guy doing the interview, Mark Dice, is a 9-11 conspiracy nut who thinks it was an inside job. Idiot. Here's the video.
Apparently, the unsuspecting students couldn't quite remember. Perhaps if Mark had given them a hint -- like the year the Mariah Carey's cinematic masterpiece "Glitter" was released, or perhaps the year that Britney Spears' "Slave" song topped the charts.
UPDATE
After some consideration, and a talk with Sarah, I feel the students are not complete idiots. They were in middle school probably and had a different sense of time than adults do. They could probably tell us what grade they were in or what they were doing when they found out.
Mark Dice, still an idiot.

Also, your previous analogy doesn't work. You said "they could tell us who won American Idol." It would be more accurate if you compared knowing what year 9/11 was to knowing what year a certain person won American Idol.
Fair enough. Although I was using the American Idol analogy to reference something completely unimportant and meaningless.
