      Considering that I haven't experience everything in this world I would say I know something.

   Oh yes. I always know what I know. Seems the problem is others don't quite follow ...
   
   But if you want a serious answer. I know an awful lot about child development. That is what I do. And a good bit about logistics. I know a little about portuguese (the language). I know a fair bit about string and how much fun a ball of it can be. I have a credible knowledge about Bengal cats - probably as much if not more than a lot of folk that breed them. And I know nothing about SEO, why people gossip and why I don't like flying.

   I know a lot about English history, English law - immigration, public law, and various minor areas.
   
   I know a bit about a collection of other things, and nothing about a vast array of things.

   I know alot about my culture and not enough about other peoples.
   I know a little about the American Civil War now ( I knew even less 2 mths ago).
   
   I dont like how the media reports mainly bad news,and seem to have this hypnotic affect on certain people.
   
   I wonder why people are afraid to show their feelings sometimes, and why in general there seems to be more anger today.
   As a human race collectively ,we are not so content with the simpler things in life any longer, and have developed this ideal of more is better , materials , achievements , status etc.
   
   I know how to make a great meal and make guests feel welcome.
   I know nothing about Communism,except that its not part of my Western Culture's democracy.
   Actually I know alot, and there is just as much I dont know about !

   I know quite a bit about world history, and an extensive amount about Polynesian history in particular.  The parts of Polynesian history that I find most fascinating is Tahitian and Hawaiian culture.  I am still enthralled by the history of mutiny on the Bounty, and have read several books on the subject.  Captain Cook and William Bligh were fascinating men, and I have read several accounts about them.

    I don't spend much time thinking about what I know or don't know.  I just go with what I know, keep learning, and do a pretty good job remembering what I've learned.  I spend most of my "brain energy" concerned with what I am, what my own actions/beliefs are, and thinking about the people I love.  These things will be my legacy.  I know enough to know that what any of us knows doesn't count for all that much.
