(During the Final Question round, (for Miss America '07) , Aimee Teegarden asked Miss South Carolina, Lauren Caitlin Upton, why she thought a fifth of Americans are unable to locate the United States on a world map. Upton's response was :)

'I personally believe that, - - Upton's response
(In the hat there was cat) , - - the author's comment

U.S. Americans are unable to do so,
(… a deer a female deer a Do)

because some… people out there in our nation that don't have maps,
(I like to take naps)

and I believe that our education,
(how did she ever get out high scool. Iz it just my imajinashin?)

(could it be next year she will be voting like for Barak?)

everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should…
(She'd past a test, for 1st graders, if she could.)

our education over here in the U.S., should help the U.S., er,

should help South Africa and should help the Iraq
(she's liable to be parent someday, is frightening and her education is lack.)

and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future..,
(She'll look back on what she had said when she is more mature.)

for our children... '
(I hope to God she matures more quickly, not how but when.)


Need more be said?
