Recently, John Scalzi expressed his disbelief about a poll showing that 36% of Americans believe our government was somehow involved in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Now, there's this:

SOME 30 per cent of Americans cannot say in what year the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against New York's World Trade Centre and the Pentagon in Washington took place, according to a poll published in the Washington Post newspaper.

All I can say is I hope these are roughly the same group of people.

The article goes on to point out that 95% could remember the month and date of the attacks. Thank God for small favors...

Is there any way we could potentially tag these people and prevent them from responding to polls in the future? After that, we can talk about voting rights...
