So, show them a map. Then, if they read any # of different books, they will learn
about places and people outside of their immediate surroundings.
THEN maybe they can think about travelling. Nothing worse, in my experience,
than being in foreign city and seeing North Americans lined up in McDonald's,
loudly saying how different it is then back home. Before you ask, I see them
while passing by.....
THOSE folks need perhaps a little "edumecation" before they travel. Point is,
travel might be pointless for most as they are now constituted.
Fair enough?

Quite fair, and yeah, put that way, I´m with you. Some people will stubbornly go out of thier way to remain ignorant. I knew a guy who took his family to Guam, they ate at Mcdonalds, Denny´s, etc. No matter how hard he tried, his wife would NOT eat anything but "American" food. We didn´t like her all that much.
