I apologize for being off-topic.  Citing sources would be off-topic  
also,
and would only lead to a contest of whose sources are best.  So I'll  
listen to
some good jazz instead--based on my opinion of "good".

May I point out two things:

1.   This has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with OKOM

2.  U.S. Citizens know  more about the rest of the planet than the 
citrizens
of any other  nation--if one compares citizens of equivalent education 
and
intelligence.

(I'd be happy to cite sources providing Ginny will do  the same.)

And  where, pray tell, does one find this information?  If you'll 
pardon the
expression, such sweeping generalizations are total  bullshit.

Furthermore, my old man can beat up your old  man!!
