Continuing Evidence That Voters Are Not To Be Trusted

On page 50 of this Pew Institute Poll, only 23% of Americans surveyed correctly identified Vladimir Putin as the President of Russia. I bet most of those were Russian immigrants, too.

On pp. 57-58:

• Only 52% correctly stated that Great Britain posseses nuclear weapons.
• Only 38% correctly stated that France posesses nuclear weapons.
• Only 48% correctly stated that Israel posesses nuclear weapons.
• 44% think that Japan has them.

and...

• 21% didn't know if Russia has them. Russia! Who has some 20,000 nukes... ...RUSSIA!!

That's it. No more voting in the United States. It's bad enough that we put the civil liberties of homosexuals up to a vote, but to trust people this patently stupid to elect a competent government is reckless.
