4th of July, Should We Laugh Or Cry?

Film maker Mark Dice has been having some fun lately at Americans' expense by wandering around with a camera and microphone, asking people questions that the typical high school freshman would know - if they lived in a country that had its act together.

And here he's standing outside of a coin dealer trying to sell an ounce of silver for a dollar, and not getting any takers.
