What Gel is asking is can you dispute the reported statistic? Can you
counter the claim that 60% of 18-25 year olds in the survey could not
point out Great Britain on a map? Can you refute the claim that 92% of
Americans do not posess a passport?
Do I think that Americans are stupid? Not necessarily. But I do think
that Moore has a point when he draws that conclusion.
And for the record, I (35) can point out Great Britain on a map; so can
my wife (29), my children (10 and 7); and we do possess US Passports.
But then I guess we don't really fall into the survey range.
