That's because there's no possibility of equivocation in your responses and there aren't any 'do-overs' if your self-esteem is damaged. There's also no opportunity to blame Bush!

I missed the first one also and like you question the answer since not every person pays taxes. Shouldnt it be spending per taxpaying person would equal zero?

I missed some just because I didnt pay attention and answered the phone and kept going which I shouldnt have.

LOL, well Geoff I would say this should blow a few peoples preconcieved notions out of the water when it comes to the level of knowledge in the south! We BOTH scored higher than a typical proff (according to the poll story), so I would say we did ok!

I should have done better and knew I should have stopped and finished on the phone before continueing but thats what over confidence will get you I suppose. After interviewing several college grads over the years I don't think outscoring a professor is a great accomplishment..........lol
