Because you're so smart!

Obviously, you are much smarter than the general public -- about most things or about one or two things specifically.

Please tell me a few subjects about which you personally are surprised that most people are so clueless.

The meat industry, I'm suprised that so many people dont put any thought into it or what they put into their bodies.

I have to whole heartedly agree with you there

I am personaly surprised as to there ARE so many who are clueless, period. Ignorance is so easily cured, I cannot fathom why anyone would chose to be ignorant over informed. Not that I am all knowing, but when I come across something I know little or nothing about, I relish in the process of learning.

even things that do not interest you?

How the American government works, much less the state of the world in general. I've been stunned to find college students who don't know who the president is, among other things.

"I've been stunned to find college students who don't know who the president is"

OUCH! That is a little extreme.

(Are you sure they weren't just having a little fun with you?)

Yes, considering that some people got it wrong on the test.

Further, when the state representative came in to speak to the class, as soon as he left they were making fun of how he looked. He was blind and disabled, so... it was more than a little rude. Especially since I knew the man personally, and he was a fantastic statesman. His brother is currently in his seat, and I was on his campaign staff. I really hope that the first runs for Senate next year.

- "Yes, considering that some people got it wrong on the test."

Ouch!! Ouch!! Ouch!! LOL!! Ouch!!!!

Okay, I have to ask:

This is a real test question for real college students, or something that was included as a "freebie"/giveaway or what?

What test for college students asks who the President is?
