Re: most people (in the US) know history as well as they know geography- which is to say they don't know anything. Hey, now! That is an anti-American statement. You should be more patriotic and note that that well over 17% of Americans actually know where Afghanistan is located! But less than 18%....... Source: Recent National Geographic survey. ************************* Knowing "anything" is a relative and highly subjective term. I'd guess more Americans know that Brittany Spears is from the South than know that Hamid Karzai is from Maryland. So, there's hope. At least for celebrity geography.
