I did pretty well (about 50%), but that's not a very good map.

The Washington Times has a front-page story entitled, "Lost generation can't find states with maps or wits." It says that "despite wall-to-wall coverage of the damage from Hurricane Katrina, nearly one-third of young Americans recently polled couldn't locate Louisiana on a map and nearly half were unable to identify Mississippi." The article goes on to say that "Americans between 18 and 24 fared even worse with foreign locations: six in 10 couldn't find Iraq, according to a Roper poll conducted for National Geographic."

Not a big worry, but a sad indicator regarding the education that has apparently eluded many folks of college age and older.

Americans, in general, are spoiled, lazy, and jealous.

Fix those three things and you fix America.

Americans, in general, are spoiled (welfare), lazy (welfare), and jealous (welfare).
