@Monkey:
Maybe I can do a veteran service thing to go around knowing where shit is on maps and why it's important. Apparently that's a TOUGH thing to come by. -_-
Or we could teach some fucking geography past elementary school (if it's taught at all) and maybe maybe maybe just possibly some history past World War II for once.
We've had Geography to like the 3rd of the lycéum. Don't High Schools in the US normaly cover Geography ? :wassat:

@Cyan:
I remember my global studies class last year going through 1989 with Tienemen Square and all that, but not once referencing the crazy shit the east Europeans were doing aside from a small mention of the former Yugoslavia going to shit (not one goddamn mention of Srebrenica, and we did it during the week that Mladic was captured for god's sake.)
My Latin teacher, for some reason, runs a better history curriculum. Hell, she's the only teacher I can talk to on an equal level when it comes to the world.
That has to do with what you can even get in Latin, methinks.
I don't think you anyone's gonna be translating Twillight into Latin for example.
