Numeros

There are some fascinating things to be found in Time magazine; just one of the periodicals I read each week. According to a recent survey, 63% of Americans, age 18-24, cannot locate Iraq on a map. I can and will if you ask me. Now for the scary part; 50% of those people could not find NY State. I'd say some people missed a few too many geography classes.

Some other numbers worth mentioning: 46 million people voted the week that Paris Bennett was voted off American Idol and 35% of Americans that were polled believe that the votes on AI matter as much as or more than the votes cast in the presidential election. Yeah, tv and presidential elections, those go hand in hand.

peace out,
