Ryan Byrd’s Ramblings

We pause now from our regularly scheduled serious content for a moment of levity (and perhaps profound sadness)…

Q. “Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the US on a world map. Why do you think this is?”

A. (South Carolina representative^* at Miss Teen USA 2007 pageant)

I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have maps. And I believe that our education like such as South Africa and the Iraq everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the US, should help the US or should help the South Africa and the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for us.
