IMHO there is a small percentage of intelligent people in our country that
carry the balance of those who don't know and don't care to know anything
else other than how to get to work and back. I can tell you this though, my
12 year old goes to a great school that actually *teaches* geography - and
he listens... If he can stay off *** and keep focused, I have hopes that
he will grow up to be in that top percentile!

It's been that way for most of recent history, at least. I didn't know where
Viet Nam was until I went there.

25 years ago when I was 20 I certainly didn't pay attention to world
events and I was terrible at geography. But I don't believe that would
have had any effect on my ability to serve my country if I had been
called upon to fight.
But back then we didn't have CNN 'communist new network'
disrespecting the military and our commander in chief either :/

If that's how 'you' feel about it, you are entitled to you're opinion,
but I think you are wrong.

As a sophmore, we go by continent and start w/ the geography than do its
history. For the middle east, we fill in a political map of the M.E., a
physical map, and then we have to draw a political map by hand. Then, we
take a test with a blank map where we have to fill in all the physical
features (even less popular things, like the Hindu Kush, Kyber Pass, Dead
Sea) countries, and capitals.
How can you not know where Iraq is, I've knows where it was since I was 6!
:) (Well, we had placemats that were world maps and my sister and I would
try to outsmart eachother with by asking eachother to find unpopluar
countries, heh)
Thanks,

BTW, I think Bush knows exactly what he's doing and I can find the place :)
It's funny how every Republican in the last 20 years is always referred to
as stupid, whether the guy is or not.

And the same ones who thought Clinton did too :) Surveys, polls,
whatever. You can prove or disprove any agenda one has with them.

p.s. I bet in 1940, not many Americans could tell you where Japan was
either.

Last month in preparation for the Earth Summit currently being hosted by
South Africa, the UN conducted a world-wide survey. The only question was:
"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food
shortage in the rest of the world?"
The survey was a huge failure....
- In Africa, they didn't know what "food" meant.
- In Eastern Europe, they didn't know what "honest" meant.
- In Western Europe, they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
- In China, they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
- In the Middle East, they didn't know what "solutions" meant.
- In South America, they didn't know what "please" meant.
- And in the USA, they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
Sad but true....

Damn straight... it's just sand, rock and heat. Never mind the political
system.
