**Only 71% Americans can locate Pacific Ocean on a map**

Huh?

As a substitute instructional assistant in the public schools, however, I could see how this could happen.

Disgusting, isn't it?

While arranging disconnection of various services from the Seattle house preparatory to our recent move to Connecticut, 5 of the 6 "agents" I spoke with did not know the two letter abbreviation for Connecticut. Similarly, while filling out the birth certificate data when my daughter was born, I indicated my place of birth as Ypsilanti, MI. When the official document arrived, it read "Father's place of birth: Ypsilanti, MISSISSIPPI". God Save Us!
