4. I got above average on the first one!
I'm not even a US citizen, nor do I (ever) want to be one, either! :)

5. One question I liked.
Name one benefit of being a citizen of the United States.

A: Obtain federal government jobs; travel with a U.S. passport; petition for close relatives to come to the U.S. to live;
B: Free surplus government cheese
C: Don't need a passport to leave the country
D: Free health care

Mmm, government cheese.

6. I took them all
Some of the questions were obscure, and some ridiculously simple.

8. Man
I was hoping it would give me a summary of statistics at the end.

If you're looking for over-all comparisons you're in for a disappointment.

9. Same here
I was hoping for an analysis, I would have written down my score after each quiz and rounded them off had I known there was no feedback at the end.

Surprisingly, I did well - much to the credit of my involvement here on DU.

10. Well, I only took the first 4. Did really well in 3 of them; lowest was
Edited on Thu Nov-06-03 09:37 PM by LittleApple81
the third with 90%... oh, well, if I read things correctly, I would have been in better shape.
I found these two things that were notable in the quiz:

Three rights or freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion

We are not getting much of any of the three, by default: free speech zones, muzzled press and correspondents killed in Iraq, the fundies taking over covertly


-----> for those of you who hate Democrat vs. Democratic party.

What are the two major political parties in the United States?
A: Labor and Republican
B: Democrat and Conservative
C: Republican and Democrat
D: Democrat and Green
