Hi Guys, I did check out the video, actually I found the complete documentary and it is fascinating.
Now a request and then a point or two on the above conversation.
Could you point me in the direction of a good refresher... make that really basic on line math course. High school was in the 60's and whatever I learned has long since left.
Carl perhaps you are confusing ignorant and stupid. I have met many people from a very broad range of cultures and societies and have met very few that are actually stupid. But the vast majority of the people I have met are certainly not trained up to even a grade 8 level from an industrialised western (including Australia and New Zealand) country.
But this doesn't make them stupid, it just makes them uneducated in one particular way.
In my own way I was a teacher for a fair number of years. I used to keep a cartoon at my desk. In the cartoon was a preacher proclaiming upon how 'Gladly the cross I bare'. in the pews a young native boy is picturing 'Gladly' the cross eyed bear.
It can be difficult to get the message across.
thanks for all the help,
Brian
