This was the question I was asking people. Whether they think the U.N. should be allowed to dictate U.S. domestic policy and abrogate U.S. sovereignty and the U.S. constitution.
2/3 of the people I asked (peers in my age group) didn't give a damn about the issue and thought it wouldn't make any difference if it were the U.S. constitution or the U.N. that held sovereignty.
That was just mind-boggling to me seeing that people are this ignorant of their rights. |
I'd be willing to wager that this statistic would also apply to the population at large regarding this issue. I'd also say that it would be a safe bet that if you were to translate the observation to issue 'X' during year Y' and interviewing generation 'Z', you would find similar results. Ignorance is a human problem, not a generational one. I know plenty of old, ignorant people.
