Unfortunately, I think the AVERAGE person does know that. Now, what that says about the parents...well, I wouldn't like to say :)

Really? You think John F. (Jack) and Jackie Kennedy are that far removed from Americans' conciousness that most people don't make the connection anymore between John & Jack?

Yes.I find the average American pretty darn ignorant of practically everything! What are those stats? 40% can't even name the Vice President? 32% don't know how many states there are? 50% voted for George Bush to be president for not one, but two terms? (haha) Yeah, the average American isn't too sharp.

D'oh!You're right. That average American knows more about The Simpsons than goverment or American history (or world history, for that matter!). Oh, and btw, I did vote for GW, but, well, I'm regretting it. At least I'm learning from my mistakes, lol!"I can't say I was ever lost, but I was bewildered once for three days." -Daniel Boone, American explorer
