    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Its also very depressing that so many people aren’t aware that we use Arabic numerals.

    Probably a lot of the same people who couldn't find Benghazi on a map

    "Americans angry about Benghazi can't find it on a map"

    "Of the 41 percent of Republicans who consider Benghazi to be the worst political scandal in American history, 39 percent are unaware that Benghazi is located in Libya. 10 percent said it's in Egypt, 9 percent in Iran, 6 percent in Cuba, 5 percent in Syria, 4 percent in Iraq, and 1 percent each in North Korea and Liberia, with 4 percent unwilling to venture a guess."

    No playing "where's the country?" for the other 43%?

    Looks like they went out of business after 2013 https://www.publicpolicypolling.com/...op-on-benghazi

    Again, how many were Pubs, how many were Dems out of all those respondents?
