Those are some stupid freaking people. I remember back in college, I
was working on a group project with this one girl who was reasonably
intelligent. THe project involved some basic knolwedge of world
geography and this chic had absolutely no idea where China was on the
globe. I mean no idea, couldn't even identify the correct continent
where it is located. That really blew my mind at the time. I didn't
think people with that level of education and intelligence could be so
dim about something as important and relevant as to where major
countries are located in the world.

Not knowing where Sri Lanka is I can understand. Not knowing that
North Korea isn't part of Australia is just plain dumb.


There are highly placed students in colleges who don't have a freakin'
club where their state capital is located, nevermind where another
country is.


And then, there seems to be a concentrated enclave of provincian thinkers in
Long Island. A year after I moved away, my old boss complained that I never
stopped in to visit. "Tommy....I'm in Rochester. This is the first time I've
been back in a year". His response: "Bull**** excuse....isn't that right up
by Yonkers?"

People at my home office have no idea where Rochester is. These people deal
with transportation all day long, and have enormous, detailed maps of the
U.S. on the wall in almost every room.
