As you may know Moridin I have travelled extensively in the US. I have been on holiday there 11 times (once for 3 months) and have visited over 20 of the states. I have travelled by Greyhound bus and Amtrak and have met with hundreds of Americans so I have seen a good cross section. Some are stupid, some are very intelligent, and the rest are in between. That's the same for any country. 95% were very friendly, very outgoing people and I fully intend to revisit many times. Perhaps I'll get west of Little Rock this time. But as much as I love the people there I have to say that one of the things which has really struck me is that most of them (that means not all) are ill informed about the outside world. They are quite open about this. They don't need to know so they are not interested. I have to disagree awith your comment about the Brits. On balance we are more aware of the outside world. Although I must admit that most of the people I spoke to in the pub last night didn't know that the capital of the US was New York. ------------------ Save Chip - Don't let Sarah win!
