Test Your Knowledge

I believe that the readers are fairly well informed, so I thought I would post the following so that you might measure your understanding in a certain area:

This is a terrific and incredibly easy test. And it shows results in a number of ways. It clearly indicates that the majority of Americans don't have a clue about what's going on in the world. No wonder our politicians take such advantage of us. It's astonishing that so many people got less than half right. These results say that 80% of the (voting) public doesn't have a clue, and that's pretty scary.

There are no tricks here - just a simple quiz to see if you are current on your information. This is quite good and the results can be shocking.

I believe it was Winston Churchill who opined that " . . . the best argument against democracy is a 5-minute conversation with the average voter . . ."

Test your knowledge with 12 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did!
