Thread Name: BS: Are Americans 'insular'?
Subject: RE: BS: Are Americans 'insular'?
ard, if she said that, she was not simply an American, she was simply an idiot. When I was in High School and College, a heavy emphasis was put on European History and Geography, to the exception of Asian, African, etc. So, if we are insular, we're on the same island with you folks. I would be happy to discuss Michael Collins, Eamon DeValera, the Battle of the Boyne or the monument at Newgrange with you. Would you be as comfortable talking to me about the battle of Chickamauga or the journey of Lewis and Clark?
