I appreciate what you mean. But on the other hand the knowledge gained in this way can be fragmented and out of context. Learning about history online is a bad way of doing it. A little knowledge is so often the excuse for holding a very unhumble attitude towards all the stuff that isn't known.

Empires die hard, that's all I can say.

I'm going to ask a few people and see just how unique my ignorance is, because I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. Like I said, Americans are astonishingly ignorant of the world.

I, too, am glad I'm not a sock puppet!

Yes, of course.

I'm sure you're not alone. You must be aware that Americans have a reputation for astonishing ignorance of the world; a stereotype I try not to buy into. Or put it this way, I appreciate that it's the flip side of everything that's great about them.
