And no, there's no punchline to that headline

After the most frequently asked question on the Innovation Center for US Dairy's website was "Does chocolate milk come from brown cows?" they decided to commission a survey.

From that survey, 7% of adults thought it did come from brown cows and a staggering 48% admitted they weren't sure where chocolate milk comes from...

It beggars belief really doesn't it, I know the US aren't renowned for having the best education system - oddly though as they have some of the best Universities in the world - but the general state education system must be appalling!

Also the above article mentions a study from the 1990's that showed 20% of Americans didn't know hamburgers we're made from the meat of cows...

The **** did I just hear

Well, I'm not sure she would know what a cow was, let alone be able to find one on a map

"There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide."
--Ayn Rand

I do worry about you with your frequent quoting of Ayn Rand

I don't have time to go into it in much depth at the moment, but I was going to say similar to Von. With lack of context individual statements of hers can be perfectly palatable, though there are a few in that list that make my skin crawl!

It's just taken as a whole I find her absolute intellectual reductionism to be an anathema to my personal ethos. She is like Dolph on steroids, and I find her Objectivism/extreme Libertarian attitude to be fundamentally flawed to how human beings and society should be and verging on being the thoughts of a sociopath. Probably her 30 years of amphetamine abuse helped in that

I liked the comment from her biographer that she is the gateway drug to right wing politics

I included it both for humour and to avoid presenting Freakbro with a selection of cherry-picked quotes containing nothing controversial. Of course I picked out quotes I liked but this was an effort to avoid picking out only things Freakbro couldn't quibble with.

Are you doubting my quibbling ability?!? ....and that coming from a pedant too!

Whether or not I doubt your ability to quibble well, let me assure you I have no such doubts about your willingness.
