Maybe the draft is a good idea
We need to get these people off the streets somehow:
Inside the United States, "half or fewer of young men and women 18-24 can identify the states of New York or Ohio on a map [50 percent and 43 percent, respectively]," the study said.But would it be moral to send these young people to Iraq to die, when they don't know where that is either?
In the Middle East, 63 percent could not find Iraq or Saudi Arabia on a map, and 75 percent could not point out Iran or Israel. Forty-four percent couldn't find any one of those four countries.Better choice would be China:
On the positive side, the study noted, seven in 10 young Americans correctly located China on a map,In the interest of fairness, one of my employees showed me the superiority of the Taiwanese education system by looking for the Panama Canal around Hudson Bay on a globe. Perhaps he was thinking of the Northwest Passage?

Red You have no curiousity for the 911 conspiracies, but you are happy to believe young Americans are so stupid as to be unable to read a map.
I suppose this is one of those tests using a map without labels...( remove the labels and call it a test) The stats seem too skewed. It wouldn't be news if it wasn't unusual. Somewhere a geography teacher is threatening he needs more money to buy Atlas-es or he is going to taiwan to teach English.
Coincedently two young people, Bread and Rye spent a month last year quizzing one another on the capitals of the worlds countries (for fun). Demonstrating that our two nations people can work together. RED play nice!
So draft them for I, send them to C, let them teach in T. Long route. I will say that this one is a bit confussed......... no selling mistake...
but spelling was....
could you give a link to a good map/ I am still laooking for the quebec part of france.
