Who needs the radio, Greg, when you've got the Internet?

It seems to be that the bigger the country the more parochial it is, and ignorant about the rest of the world. It's one of the contrasts between England and Ireland - and I gather it's a lot more so in the USA, especially away from the coast.

Not surprising, when a country is so big it must feel like a world. But it has some unfortunate consequences since it's so big that every time it turns over in bed the rest of us are liable to get accidentally rolled out on to the floor.

(And I know Canada is bigger than the USA geographically, but that's not what I'm talking about.)
