9 out of 10. The 'Vermont -or- New Hampshire' not being one of the original 13 colonies was tricky, as both those states suck ass and are unremarkable in every aspect.
I disagree about your statement that 'if american people knew more about foreign policy that we'd be in better shape'. To me its a self-validating-code kind of situation. I'd rather that our foreign policy be influenced only by those people smart enough to seek out and learn what they want about the world.
The American people should know what their leaders are up to, foreign and domestic policy will fall into place once that happens since we'll be able to hold our leaders accountable for their actions.
The problem then becomes that a significant portion of people involved in politics (including voters) aren't interested in a better society per se. They are interested in completing their personal agendas with as little compromise as possible.
