American is separated from the rest of the world by two oceans and most of my countrymen are completely ignorant of the world beyond our borders. A GPS system can't help these people find New York or the USA on a map and this inability to identify different nations around the globe was highlighted after an a 2007 US Teen beauty pageant interviewer asked Miss South Carolina in 2007, ""Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?"
"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do find the USA on a map because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future."
Caitlin Upton was ridiculed for this reply, however I suspect few of the GOP presidental candidates could find Iran or Iraq on a map.
"I know it's here somewhere."
Some people like being dumber than mud.
qwho needs a map when you have a Bible
