sputnik Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 ..........The 18-year-old got a chance to redeem herself Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show when she was again asked why one-fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a map. "I would love to re-answer that question," Upton said. "Well personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on our map. I don't know anyone else who doesn't. And if the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography."........ I personally believe that 20% of any general population distribution can be pretty stupid. So, where's my tiara?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxg Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Its a surprising stat if true. I guess the other 4/5ths of the population just got lucky. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
