  Got to be American. Only Americans assume everyone knows where they are.

    Maybe, but even that needs narrowing down. An American friend of mine says that the two coasts are relatively sensible and everyone in the states inbetween are utter fruitcakes.

      Has your friend heard of Florida? And some of the northern states in-between are relatively sensible too - Minnesota for example.

        I think they’re in denial about Florida.

      Well, I can understand the feeling, but it’s not true. Many of the states in between have a better ratio of relatively sensible people to fruitcakes than it looks like, but the fruitcakes have gerrymandered voting districts pretty severely. Which is a self reinforcing issue.
