    Basic Rule of thumb... if you don't know the answer... stick to your first guess. I thought about it and saw 'A Nation by the people, of the people... etc'. Shoulda stuck with first instinct.

    So you talk big on the forum but when it comes to brass tacks you are just like the rest of the GOP. Weird with how vocal you are. Get educated and then come back to the forums to rant.

    ps. I got 26 out of 33, oh yeah I forgot about your education level. That's 78%

  • 82%...I answered the Socrates question correctly :lol:

    It was challenging because certain questions had more than one correct answer...some were just a bit more correct...like college exams.

    Thanks, Godfather. That was fun.

    2 of the 4 that I got wrong I flat out didn't know. I feel the other two I should have known, though.
