    Oh easily, but not just under 20... voting age all the way up to death...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I'm sure that as a fine upstanding, patriotic citizen of the US she doesn't have any need to be able to fine "the Iraq" on a map. it's enough for her (and any good American) to know that "The Iraq" is where all those brown-skinned, evil terrorist live....you know, those vile bastards that are jealous of her and her superior intelligence and that of all wholesome, white, god-fearing Christians

    im guessing 60-70% of all age groups couldn't pull that feat off. let alone iran, afghanistan, saudi arabia, israel, or any of these other countries they're so gung ho about invading or supporting.

    and there is really a Latin America with real countries
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    I'm guessing most of these people can't even find Rhode Island on the map; never mind Iraq.

    I feel a bit sorry for her now. Sure - she's probably not the brightest person in the world, but she was put on the spot and got mixed up. I think the TV is making too much of this.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    She's damn good looking... too bad she flubbed her lines. I'd still go out with her, or like having her around in the office...no problemo...

    It should be.

    And any man who's older than about 22 or 23 (done w/ college), and has to resort to trolling for high school girls, must be socially retarded.

    It depends on where you are in the state. Just like any other place, if you live in an affluent area, you are more likely to have a better school system. There are some school districts in the state that are excellent, but there are also some very bad school districts. The school districts in the more rural parts of the state are more likely to have lower standardized test scores, a lower emphasis on public education, and need more funding (that they probably won't receive).
    thanks for a detailed response. just like you said, it's like any other place.

    Yeah, last night right before bed, I turned on the late night talk shows. Leno and Letterman showed this. Letterman replayed it twice, because Paul was so tickled by it. I felt so bad for her. Looking at her 'record' she is a very accomplished young lady. I realize that the pageant gals have 'prepared' responses. The question was ridiculous and this poor girl was caught off guard.

    People love to tear other people down or see them fail all the time....especially if they are famous or beautiful.

    It's a weird twisted ego thing, and it helps some people to compensate for several areas lacking in their own lives. Some have this affliction more than others. It's founded, and generated by, a host of insecurities and self perceived inadequacies.
