The days events
There's so much I don't know about the world and its people. Everywhere is so different. Everyone is so different. Today is the first time in my life I really feel like an ingnorant American. I use ignorant rather that stupid because stupid implies that you don't know any better to do something about it. I do know better. Simple resolution, do something about it. I do try, I keep up with the news, I learn about well rounded topics. It's not enough. I have no religion, I don't adhere to any certain omniscient being. Maybe I should, seek knowledge through the divine. Then it would still only be the truth as told by someone else, not my own. Much ado over someone elses opinion of you.

The universe IS endless...
It is fascinating. The magnitude of possiblity that is. All that you can say is how wonderful it is to have so many choices. Choose wisely and enjoy.

from what i understand (in honesty, that may be very little since i've never been to america), it seems the reason americans in general dont know a lot about the rest of the world is because the education system is so consumed with american history, american issues, etc, and little to do with the rest of the world. i know for a fact that there was as many as 5 adult americans, people my family knew, that didnt even know where australia was until the olympics were here in 2000. (of course australia, where i live, has only been around for just over 200 years, so we dont have the amount of history you guys do so we can just learn about us in school)
i dont know what you guys learn in geography classes:)
You're only as ignorant as you let yourself be, and something tells me you're not ignorant at all.
