(27,247 posts)which was back in 1978, local people in New York asked me where I was from. When I said "Arkansas", most of them had no idea where it was. One person thought it was near California.
And about the only thing the people I encountered knew about Arkansas was the Little Rock Central High crisis-- an event which was already 21 years in the past in those days.

(38,317 posts)Sometimes it's the "facts" you fill your head with that make you an idiot.
The thing that bothers me the most about U.S. society is the common innumeracy, anti-intellectualism, and blatant disregard of science and logic.
I give this test an "F."
