I dont think the person who wrote the rant above was talking about crossing the border 100 miles from your home.

I am not going to place my personal stamp of approval on the entire piece or associated insulting tone, but I do agree that on many levels, US citizens do not understand the rest of the world.
I have traveled all over the world: The deeper you go into the third world, the less you find americans and the more you find Europeans. I once heard that only 20 percent of US citizens hold a passport and it would stand to reason that much less out of that number actually use it.
The voting polls would change significantly if people traveled to the third world.
