Issue #56 Egypt and Pols fail civics test

(2/13/2011) Everybody is still talking about the peaceful overthrow of the Mubarak Government, so we will too.  One question is why does it always seem to be the younger people protesting the government.  We saw it in Egypt, here in the US and in Iran to name a few.  Is it always for “freedom and democracy” or is there more to it?

Also, a recent article on AOL News shows that politicians score even lower in civics testing and their knowledge of the US Constitution than regular Americans do.  It makes US look bad, but it makes THEM look worse, especially when they keep telling us how much they rely on and love the Constitution.

Plus, this week’s Good Guy is Jane Pierantozzi of the “Faithful Friends” shelter.  A “no-kill” animal shelter in Wilmington, Delaware.
