That is hilarious James. I was given this little quiz in junior high school and then given another that forced you to answer that you would kill and eat your family and friends (I think it was based around those soccer players that had to do that to survive in the mountains). The lesson was that you can construct a line of questioning to get someone to appear to agree with just about anything. The questions are designed to force you to come to a predetermined conclusion. The point of the lesson was not to continue to fall for such nonsense and to be able to use deductive logic and critical thinking to see through it.
You have not done your homework Jimmy, but it's not a surprise really...you are a Bush supporter and he counts on folks who don't do their homework.
