I doubt that those facts are "well known" :) It's well known for
you as you are
a Navy officer (which is supposed to be a well-educated person). But I meant
regular people on streets. And I also were talking not just about an average
American but people all over the world who are less informed.

        Best wishes,
                     Mix.
