Your telling cultural indicators.


I'm not sure whether I should be amused or frightened by this:

Forty-four elementary students from across Southern California competed for $1,000 cash at the 2006 Southern California Spelling Bee Championship held in Long Beach on Sunday, March 19. But, it was fourth grader Matt Buckley from Hillcrest Academy in Temecula, who took home the prize by correctly spelling "psalm" and "theocracy."

I'm guessing most of those contestants had no problem with earlier words like "moonbat" or "Islamofascist," but were instead tripped up by challenges such as "democracy" and "constitution."
