Comment on :Living in the Shadows: Illiteracy in Americahttp://abcnews.go.com/WN/LegalCenter/story?id=4336421&page=1

I've been astonished when i came on this piece of news. Millions of people are illiterate in the USA, how come?

How about the other illnesses that are known to be only found in poor or what we politely call developing countries? From now , but also as usual,  can we say that America is the sum of everything astonishing including the positive and the negative one?
