. . . . (long sigh) . . . . we are getting exponentially further from that modest ideal by the millisecond. Even "general" knowledge, in the age of immediately-available knowledge on pretty much ANY subject, escapes a great segment of the general population,as even through their most sincere efforts to learn truths, if their sources are diseased, lying MSM globo-liberally based - as a federal judge conceded to day that nearly ALL of the "major" outlets in the US ARE -- then they stand absolutely ZERO chance of ever finding the truth. Therefore, even a "general" level of knowledge will elude them ALL, for as long as they trust disgustingly untrustworthy"sources." Make that -- professional LIARS.

OOPS - just fell off the soapbox!
