The United States ranked 28th out of 40 countries in mathematical literacy (NYT, Dec. 12, 2004).
Twenty percent of Americans think the sun orbits the earth. Seventeen percent believe the earth revolves around the sun once a day (The Week, Jan. 7, 2005).

Just because it "mostly" rains in Amazon, doesn't mean it always does. What I said could be taken in many ways. In anycase, I might be wrong, but foreign students make up a significant percentage. For example
http://www.aps.org/apsnews/1105/110505.cfm
"The percentage of first-year students from outside the United States declined from a peak of 55% in the 2000-2001 academic year to about 43% in fall 2004."
 But you are just distracting from the fact that majority of Americans are stupid as fuck.
