And if I don't know something I should know, that is society's fault as well.
Hell, I didn't know who Tommy Douglas was until I was 17. Was that my fault? Or the school system's fault?
I don't deserve to be belittled for not knowing who Tommy Douglas is, this guy doesn't deserve to be belittled for not knowing what a light year is. But the system does deserve to be belittled, for these are both facts everyone should have learned.
