I had to explain to somebody the difference between federal government agencies, state government agencies, what living in a federal republic made up of states means, and more. It does appear that the Union's health is poor. The knowledge level of some of my taxpayers let alone the illiteracy shown in certain cases frightens me.

In contrast, this post making fun of poorly designed e-training for diversity amuses me: http://ace.mu.nu/archives/363598.php

Sadly we have many, many e-training interactions that look quite like that at work.
