I could go to any state in the US and at least know where the state is in conjunction with the other states. I can at least tell you the capital, and I have a general "feel" for each state and how it is different from the other states in culture, history and overall "style". If a visitor from America came into my work, they wouldn't leave feeling rejected or ignored.

Also something that bugs me. Many Americans can't do that.

You see, we live in a world of deception. If you watch Survivor, they cut and edit the show to make you think something is happening that really isn't. Viagra is deception. Every women who wears make-up is deceiving others. People "pad" their resumes. In the early 70's - people were fooled into thinking leaded gas was ok. Older cigarette ads actually said smoking was good for you. There are fibers that "look and feel" like cotton. MacDonalds "100% pure beef" - well, we all know that not true. There was a company a few years ago that was called "Fat Free" - that was the company name - so their Yogart was "Fat Free", at least we all thought it was. "Spin Doctors" are a plenty and P.R. companies are some of the biggest companies in the world.

Are you comparing so called "reality television" and advertising to news?
You also dodged my questions. Again.
