a lot of americans really are ignorant about it though...just not *all* of us...i think a lot of americans just don't give a rat's ass about geography...i didn't take an interest until i started making online friends, all over the world

I don't think that applies just to americans though, I think a lot of people just aren't that interested in geography no matter what country they are from.  I don't think this makes them ignorant people, after all, if we all shared the same interests life would be pretty dull.

When I was younger I was a tea drinker, Earl Grey being my favorite and Captain Jean Luc Picard's as well. However in later years I switched to coffee.

I couldn't drink coffee at all until about 5 years ago, I would only drink tea- but when I realised that tea gives me migraine I learned to drink coffee so I could have some caffeine to get me moving in the morning.

Three years ago my son asked our local "Santa" for a globe (he was four, then) and he's damn hard to stump in geography. If it's on his globe he knows it. Cities, countries, lakes, rivers, deserts, islands  ... it doesn't matter ...  he's got it.

My daughter's globe is a Leapfrog Explorer and it can both teach you and quiz you as well.  It's really cool.

I love the Leapfrog products. We couldn't use them, though. My son is autistic and shit like that used to scare the HELL out of him. Any toy that made noise on its own terrified him. And, if it had an electronic sounding voice it was a whole new level of horror for him. We have made enormous steps with him, but he's a little past most of the Leapfrog stuff at this point.

I wouldn't mind having the math one, though. He gets the math concepts and knows the tables fairly well, but the tests are timed on a computer and he fails them. He just won't take tests ... computers are just too much fun. He won't 'stay put' when he needs to.

My eldest son is almost 10 and he still gets freaked out by unexpected noises- going into the supermarket used to be hell for him because of the rides they have in the door way.  He would go in with his coat over his head and his hands over his ears and we'd have to guide him past them.  He's getting better now but he's still really sensitive to stuff that makes unexpected noises.

Stores are still rough (on both of us), but he's gotten to the point where he can cope, most of the time. He's got such a mature way about him most of the time, that it stuns people.

In the Meijer freezer section, the noise level is ridiculous with about a hundred and fifty coolers going at the same time. I have to chew on the inside of my cheek and keep my teeth sucked dry the whole time, in order to deal with it and I can't talk to people other than my pre-fab "HI!", but we get through it. Watching him, closely, he "plays" with the acoustical nulls and re-inforcement areas of the place at first, but he sometimes says "This is getting to be a bit much. We need to move it along, please." He is SO aware at times, it fills me with hope.

Whoever thought of the starbucks coffee in that place and the cup holders on the carts was a genius. Coffee calms me down really well.
