Question

How many americans have a passport?

Answer 1

Don't know, but I do.

Answer 2

20% or less...

Answer 3

I can't remember the exact figure, but it is the lowest rate in the western world.

This might explain the high level of ignorance about the rest of the world.

My impression is that the average American, if they do manage to travel, wait until they are quite old and then go cruising or on bus tours with other Americans so they are then being taken around in this insulated bubble with stops for snapshots and souvenirs in order to prove that they have been somewhere.

That is not real travel where you get out on foot and really experience a place and meet with the locals.

If you don't broaden your horizons when your young, you are never going to start doing it when your older.  You end up too set in your ways and too scared of anything foreign.

Answer 4

I do and I will be using it all the time beginning in the fall.
