Pobly one reason that some Americans are quite ignorant about world geography is that most do not want to leave there, they have every kind of climate, topography, and weather conditions that you will find in every other country in the world.
They have high country, dry country, cold, hot wet, dry, humid, tropical and desert, glacerial and sand, 2 oceans come ashore there and some of the larger fresh water lakes, large rivers and most kinds of fish and wildlife that can be found anywhere, so why get a passport and leave,
they have a large Thai, Chinese, European, you name it, and they have em there populations, and kind of food in the world is available there just a short walk or drive from home.
My wife is a school teacher and has been for 25 years here with a Uni education and she does not know where anythng is on a world map, and I, a stupid American with an 8th grade edu have to tell her and eventually go to the map and put my finger on it for her.
But I am different than most Americans, I have to see where you live, what you eat and where you work, then I have to go look at what some one else is doing.
I am what is known in America as "Fiddlefooted". and as such am now a citizen of the world.
