Yep. I agree. Not sure on the level. It would be an interesting study to conduct though and find out for sure who is more ignorant. But I saw Alan Colmes from Fox News on the 4th go out and ask people what we were celebrating Independence from and it was amazing how many people didn't know. They were able to find people who didn't know who fought in the Revolutionary War. That's like asking who's buried in Grants tomb.

In comparison to many Canadians, I've found a lot of people here is the US who have been woefully ignorant of anything outside of their neighbourhood, much less their city, or even state. OTOH I've met some Canadians who are the same, but generally there has been a far smaller proportion to what I've seen down here. Generally there is a larger amount of isolationism here. larry -- Larry C.
