  1. thanks for posting those numbers, its even less than I expected. BTW you don't need a passport to go to Mexico and /or Canada.

    Just a thought.

  2. Also, don't forget that many of those are new immigrants, who, if I'm not mistaken, get a passport by default when they get citizenship.
    BTW, according to some stats I once heard on Jay Leno's show (and he always checks, rechecks, and double checks his sources :D) half of Americans can't show the states on the world map. I'm not sure if he meant the exact borders (which wouldn't be surprising) or simply the general location.

    As far as what someone said above about leaving the country for a while, I do agree it would be helpful. I personally enjoy going back to my home country to get a fresh sense of reality and reignite my drive to do my best. I think living here often makes one complacent.
