Everyone loves quizzes, right?

Civics Quiz, linked from this article.

(My score: 75%. But I guessed on some of them.)

93%. I botched the one on Plato's Republic, the order of Civil War events (for some reason, I thought Appomattox was before Gettysburg), the requirements for a just war (what do you expect for a Hawk?), and the results of a purchase of bonds by the Fed - although I still insist that it will also cause interest rates to rise, since the flood of money will lead to inflation. But I guess they were talking about the immediate effect.

Good job. I missed the requirements for a just war question too; it's an interesting concept, though not one that I would agree with.

Indeed, My view of a just war is "they want to kill us, so we had best kill them first." Kind of like the decision Poland faced with Hitler. Basically, when the person isn't deciding that there are people who will die, but rather deciding whether it will be his own civilians, or the aggressor's military.

At first I was like "Oh, its only like ten questions..." Then I noticed th scrollbar wsa really small. Long story short, I suck at history. Its sad really, because this is stuff I should know. I'm not really a history buff, so I couldn't get through it. I'll attempt it again probably.

Yeah, it's kind of long. :/ If you try it again, good luck!
Historical stuff bores me in general, but there are some aspects of it I find interesting. I guess it really depends.
