That was a relief for me to know, that even you who is born and raised in the US, is not an expert on the subject

It looks like it is rather easy to stay stupid in the US.. I guess some of the case is because the country is so big - so difficult to get a real grasp on - by many... Here in Europe, even the biggest nations, like Germany, France and Russia is fare more inclined to have some knowledge about the world outside of their own borders - for the smaller country's like Norway, where I'm from, it is a matter of life and death to have a knowledge about the world - at least to have a grasp on some of our bigger friends out there..
