Most likely <<... the Dairy Queen clerk... didn't know that.>>

and also did not know lots of other things, like:

who is President Bush
what is an oil derrick
what document has the text "The Right to Bear Arms."

The above example has the clerk of highschool age.

Lots of times at the stores in my area when i go through
the check-out counter there will be a teenager in highschool
working there to make money to buy $150 sneakers like
the ones i wear that cost $25 with the same construction
for wear and support but without a sports hero or famous
other stuff or not needed bells & whistles on it, and i ask
if the time taken away from time allocated to do home-work
for highschool studies... (and on and on talk)

Seems that these teenagers know lots about the stuff
that creates money for those who pump & dump onto
these young kids to buy their products which fill those
empty voided places that were once long ago when
life required hard work to obtain water food & shelter
and a pathway to create values one can exchange
for either cash or other values. Now for young boys
its filled with computer games of extreme violence
and empty action and other junk food type learning
that has a high calorie count but nothing real that can
be used to nurture and build upon for growth.

Not sure about the young girls side except i have noticed
that most magazines on the racks have females presented
to serve a purpose to fullfill man's lust for sexual desires.

Bottom line for my understanding is that this youth generation
is being feed the same way we were long ago by what we obtain
in the form of attention or amusment or entertainment stuff so that
we can experience life outside our boundaries.

Yes, but back then it was low slow limited because the means
to get our attention was low technology, but today with both parents
working and easy money to be had, and the easy availiablity of things
we could only obtain after highschool after working, plus stuff like
computers and hand hold communication devices that make it easy
to communicate in a quick and often manner that is to me too fast
and quick sometimes that prevents one from from do self thinking
and self research like we had to do before the info super highway.

and on and on...

I like this new $200 bill and suggest on its back be printed
more text from what makes the usa what it is,
and on the front replace prez(s) with pictures of industry
that create jobs and wealth and opportunity for them
young kids that will soon find out that they have not
the skills or understanding to created wealth.
