I just asked my 11 year old son where the Country of Africa was----
He looked at me as if I was a flaming Moran. Dad--- it's a continent, not a country.

Hell---and he's being educated in Florida.

4. That's all well and good...
...but is your son the the country's most knowledgeable energy expert?

Ya see....Sarah is so hyper focused on being an "energy expert" that there is little room for other studies.
