	Messages 1 2  The world according to Dubya by Ellerd on 4 November 2007 8:43am   Pretty amusing. :-) http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2006/12/03/44-the-world-according-to-dubya/   Re: The world according to Dubya by elina on 4 November 2007 11:02am   :) Quite amusing! So is the Reagan map.   Re: The world according to Dubya by HelenBachari on 4 November 2007 8:25pm   Great map .... and I see NZ doesn't rate a mention at all. Probably because Helen Clark refused to join the scramble to invade Iraq!   Re: The world according to Dubya by tucsonmike on 4 November 2007 10:02pm   It was amusing, not in a "ha ha way", but it was also sad. I hate to say this, but many American kids would have a similar view.   Re: The world according to Dubya by mrsthing on 4 November 2007 11:43pm   He knows where the Sahara desert is? Gee, he's smarter than I thought! I don't know how many American kids would have this same world view. Up through the 6th grade, most of them couldn't care less about geography. The ones I know live in these online fantasy worlds and are pretty clueless about what's going on around them.   Re: The world according to Dubya by intrepid on 5 November 2007 7:02pm   It's not just the kids who don't know where things are- kids' ignorance is just highlighted because adults get mad when our ignorance is exposed. We know as little as they do, I bet.   Re: The world according to Dubya by Ellerd on 6 November 2007 2:31pm   I love the description of Canada: "Just like the United States - Except the French part over here". LOL!   Re: The world according to Dubya by JHorst on 6 November 2007 3:05pm   Most of the kids I know are pretty articulate regarding the map, but they all go to my daughter's uppity private school and have been learning about such things since pre-k. They are in the 3rd grade now and even know that the word Arctic has a "t" in it...   Re: The world according to Dubya by canaveralgumby on 7 November 2007 5:25pm   That is very funny, thanks for posting it.   Re: The world according to Dubya by Katia on 7 November 2007 6:19pm   I sorta like the description of the New Europe ;)   Messages 1 2
