Apophis, I know you mean well, but you just completely destroyed your credibility with an understandable oversight. There are two Washingtons, the city Washington D.C. (located on the Potomac River between Virginia and Maryland) and the state of Washington, located south of British Colombia, Canada (can't believe I had to check a map to make sure that was right

Just to mention that they didnt even know that the big island in pacific ocean was called Australia...
So before saying those who thinks americans are ignorants are more, at least we know that America is under Canada and above Mexico!!! I KNOW there are intelligent americans, alot of, but the prob IS that they are alot in absolute, but in comparaison to the global population number, in relative, not so many! I'm pretty sure the democrats have LESS ignorants in their ranks, because the bush side isnt only made of those liberal workers who travel around the world, who surely know alot, but this party is made also by alot of ignorants, and no american inhabitant can deny it!!! Who are those ignorants? Those who say Canada s... France and Mexico s..., and who dont even know where are germany or india, finally who think America is their country, and any people with KNOWLEDGE will say, and CANNOT BE DENIED, that USA are Indian's country (not those from India, I mean those who lived in before The thirteen colonies were created).
Every country has it's idiots, or at least people who don't remember stuff. Actually, I think a new show called
You Think You're Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? came out, where fifth graders competed with adults in trivia and often won. So yeah, a lot of Americans are ignorant. Blame the school systems. But did you think all 300 million of them would be brilliant? (BTW, I saw a movie similar to that. Some guy said the Berlin Wall was in Afghanistan
)
And as for the Native American arguement you threw in at the last minute, there is no going back, so don't dredge up the past in this case (I had US History last year, the part on Native American treatment was an eye-opener, yet not unexpected).
