well, Gel is from Trinidad, but that is beside the point at the moment.

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.
