What's scary to me is, I consider myself not especially knowledgable
about such subjects as geography. As per my previous post, my reading
sticks mostly to my topics of interest. But by today's standards, I tend
to come across in discussions as knowing a lot about a lot.
Things are slipping. My daughter showed me an English paper earlier this

when I was in high school, that paper would have been very lucky to
garner a C...

Ah, the decline of civilization...
