>Do be surprised, Hilmar. I had many foreign exchange studends in my classes, at both the highschool and college level, and they all know more about our form of government, the Declaration of Independence (which several could quote from memory), and the Bill of Rights... i.e., civics questions that 95% of all eighth graders should know.

My own school education was, in great part, with U.S. schools, so I know more about U.S. history (more, but nothing to boast about!) than about Bolivian or German history.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
