    Hey Soul', give us a break, we'uns here in the USA specialize in ignorance.

    Seriously, though, grand thematic opera for kidlings just past the "Dora the Explorer" stage? I'd be happier with a little Aaron Copeland and some more effort on the proper use and spelling of various nouns and verbs.

    Heavens to mergatroids, many of you complain about the actions/policies of the USA now. If we healed most of my countrymen's ignorance about the world around them, you have no IDEA just how ornery we might get. You should be thankful that more yanks are worried about Angelina Jolie's impending whelping than about anything substantive.

    While I suspect that the subject may indeed be too advanced for these backwoods hick kids I should point otu that, in the article referenced above, this is not the primary complaint of the parents. Besides which one mother appears to be called Robby. If their parents cannot even get their offspring's gender right then what hope for the next generation?
