Sadly, you may be very wrong.

=========================================
When more than 300 young Americans in the survey were shown a blank
world map and asked to indicate the location of the United States,
only 89 percent could do so.
Other findings from the survey:

* 34 percent of the young Americans knew that the island used on
last season's "Survivor" show was located in the South Pacific, but
only 30 percent could locate the state of New Jersey on a map. The
"Survivor" show's location was the Marquesas Islands in the eastern
South Pacific.
* When asked to find 10 specific states on a map of the United
States, only California and Texas could be located by a large majority
of those surveyed. Both states were correctly located by 89 percent of
the participants. Only 51 percent could find New York, the third most
populous state.

This reminds me of Summer Y2K when I was in Honolulu trying to talk to a man
in WA. I got his wife and left a message which included a request that he
call me after 11 a.m. his time since I was 3 hours behind and wanted to be
awake and functioning when we talked.

So, he calls me the next morning at 5 a.m. HST/8 a.m. PDT because he figured
that his wife surely got the message wrong since nobody's west of WA
g-r-o-a-n.
