When you speak the facts/truth, and you receive "thumbs down" votes...?

I hate to waste points on asking a question, I am simply angry. A question is asked such as:

"Name the first 4 in line for the Presidency, according to the Constitution.."

I answer, in POLITICS:

1. President

2. Vice President

3. Speaker of the House

4. Sec of State

This cannot be disputed, and I receive like 4 or more thumbs down!

How can this be?

I see this with others all over the place on Yahoo Answers. What is the point if these mindless idiots cannot accept the truth? This makes me WRONG?

I can't stand it! Help!!

Update:

Rebecca, Thank you, sincerely, I simply can't accept that these idiots are all teenagers. I'd guess most of these people are adults, I think....

Update 2:

To B 2011: Thanks!!!!!

    HA! I know what you mean. If someone doesn't like the truth they give you a TD. Or, they are too stupid to know your answer is correct. I see that behavior here more than anywhere else on Y/A.

    What is worse is when the delete asswipes delete your question because they don't like it. Not that it is breaking any rules, they just don't like the question. I appeal every single one of them. I usually win, too.

    people sitting behind their computers are often very weird. It is meaningless to judge yourself based on the thumbs up or down at this site. Really enjoy when you get ups & ignore the downs.

    They probably thought you were wrong. Most people who frequent Y/A! know little about government. Many of them are Republicans and would vote against their own interests if they were old enough to vote..

    Teenagers are crazy rebels. You know how they cause their classmates to kill themselves after being bullied and insulted, so how can you expect them to be any more sane on the net?
