Regrettably, much as I detest the man, he may have a point.

However, I don't think they are missing much. In my travels and in the service, the more European counries I visit, the more I like the USA. There is neat stuff that makes it worth visiting, but it is alway nice to come home...

I'd say that it is a measure of how important these countries are that we don't know where they are, but most of 'em can't find their state capital of any of the other states.

The fact that donut man Moore displays his amazing ignorance publicly says much about the arrogance that certain of his comrades share about the "common man" or should I say the "proletariat". Suffice it to say that his "repulsion" against he American people is limited to those who vote republican and conservative. It does not extend to the leftist parasites like himself who by virtue of their "political awareness' are deemed to be more worthy than the rest of us poor schmucks.

I have also had the fortune to travel extensively and many of my preconceived notions about Americans' so called lack of knowledge was forever shattered. Quite the opposite---in many European countries it is the elites who are informed generally and often quite brainwashed in fact about America and the world. I had never met so many racist Euros as when I traveled and taught there.

IN third world nations, a tiny minority are "knowledgeable" about the larger world.
