I was doing some research for a project here is what i came up with.
According to Department of Education National Adult Literacy Survey, There are fourty four million Americans who can not read and write above a fourth grade level- in other words, who are functional illiterates.
Majority of its citizens can not locate Kosovo (or any other country it has bombed) on the map. 65% of Americans adult between the age of 18 and 25 could not find the United Kingdom on the map. All that kissing American asses by Mr Blair, and American do not even know where the hell Mr Blairs lips were!
Should a people this ignorant be running the world? How did they get in charge at the first place? According to INS, 92% of Americans dont even own a passport. I guess they dont have to, 10,000 miles away from home, you are still in your home turf, speaking the same damn languages! Only a handful of them know any language other than English (and they barely speak that one!)
Americans have quite a proud tradition of being represented by ignorant high-ranking officials. In 1956 President Dwight D. Eisenhower's nominee as ambassador to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) was unable to identify either the country's prime minister or its capital during his senate confirmation hearing.
In 1982, President Ronald Regan's nominee for deputy secretary of state, William Clark, admitted to a wide ranging lack of knowledge about foreign affairs at his confirmation hearing.

Recently a group of 556 seniors from fifty five prestigious American universities (e,g, Harvard, Yale and Stanford) were given a multi choice test consisting of questions that were described as 'high school level' Thirty four questions were asked. These top students could only answer 53% of them correctly. and only one student got them all right.
A whopping 40 percent of these students didnt know when the American Civil war took place. The two questions the college seniors scored highest were 1. Who is snoop- dog (98% got them right) 2. Who are Bevis and Butt-head? (99% got them right)

Yale or Harvard, Princeton or Dartmouth and Berkeley, get a degree from one of this university and you are set for life, 70% of those students at these fine schools had never heard of Voting Rights Act or President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society Initiatives.
Here is the kicker!
163 New York City school opened in 2000-2001 school without a principal! you heard right, school, with no one in charge!! Apparently the mayor and the school board are experimenting woth 'chaos theory'!

In New York City almost 15% of the eleven hundred public Schools are without a full time custodians, forcing teachers to mop their own floors and students to do without toilet paper.

Thirty eight states have death penalty out of fifty states. United States are one of the few countries in the world that puts to death both the mentally retarded and juvenile offenders. The United States is among only six countries that impose the death penalty on juveniles. The others five are Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
The United States is also the only country besides Somalia that has not signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
No Other industrialized nation executes its children.
