Well done to all of you. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=51299#post-147638 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 15:31:05 +0000 rikkor 147638@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Sad, but true. I think I stated here before that only about 1 in 20 here could name your PM, about 1 in 100 your PM-lite. Most Americans are very insular, which is easy to do in a place that's 3,000 miles across. Still, no excuse.</p> <p>I know a very well off, college-educated woman in the Midwest who once told me that visiting Europe was like having kids, something you had to do, not something you actually relished doing.</p> <p>I would say only about 5-10% of Americans have any slight idea what's going on in the world. Very few even have an idea what is going on in their state or in the US as a whole.</p> <p>But, if you are honest with yourselves, you will have to admit that the percentage of very informed "international" people in Britain is probably not that much higher. </p>
