Americans' shocking ignorance about the world - !

If you haven't seen this one, it's only 4 minutes and eye-opening as far as the vacuum in which so many Americans operate at this time in history. Good for some laughs, but ultimately sobering :

Barbara, forgive me for this slightly off topic remark.

Below is a picture taken of the Milky Way from down under along with a display of auroras and a meteor shower,
but few people venture outside in the evening to see this.
Or if they do see it, they do not know what they are viewing.

No doubt, if a survey were done asking people about the Milky Way,
they most likely would respond that is is come sort of chocolate milk candy bar.
