[quote:jamesofthecommons:MV8xMzI1NDE1XzIxNzcyMjIwX0Q2MTAxMzc=] [quote:Epic Beard Guy] The Intercollegiate Studies Institute polled 2500 people including 164 elected officials. 74% of Elected officials, and 71% of the general population failed the test. You can read the story here. http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=251081 You can take the test here. http://www.americancivicliteracy.org/resources/quiz.aspx I am embarrassed to say I only got 88%. Please take the test and post your scores to see how much smarter GLPers are than the Elected officials that are supposed to support the document they know so little about. You can take the quiz as many times as you want, but please post your first score hear. To simplify the posting here is a poll. It was not untill I got to question 25 that I realized that this so called quiz is not so much a quiz, as it is a right wing peice of bullshit propaganda ! So called ''free enterprise'' would never work without fascist polocies which favor corporations and buisneses over consumers.The original American ''consumers''were the Native Americans and they derived their needs,''consumed''from the natural commons.This form of consumption could not be allowed to continue by the capitalists, because such consumption fails to deliver profits to the capitalists.The early US capitalists would have never risen to power absent the implimentation of government polocies which demanded the removal of the original American ''consumers''. I guess that means you failed. Probably a socialist politician! Just kidding, what ever country you are in probably doesn't have enough freedom to tolerate socialist politicians. Who's ass do you kiss when you are bowing in public? [/quote] I bow to no one,in public,nor in private. The country I am in does ''tolerate'' socialist poloticians,however most of the people of this country do not know what socialism is. The native Americans were not socialsts,they enjoyed an economic system based upon the use of the natural commons,''kind of like when we breath today''those commons were not owned by anyone,but yet were ''accsessed'' by all. I guess it is you who have failed ! [/quote]
