Which question would you think the posters here would answer incorrectly most often?
Sure. Post your choices and the answers will be marked and sent confidentially (in order to preserve the fun for others).
4 or 11. I think some though deep down may know the answer but not want to admit it.
One morning as I sat down, one of the jocks tapped me on the shoulder and "told" me to give him my prep sheets for the upcoming test. I unleashed a loud "Mama" lecture on him for 3 minutes...concerning the importance of class participation. He hunkered down in his seat saying "Yes'm, Yes'm". After class the Prof said, "Can I take you to ALL my classes?" *chuckle*
Great questions. I wonder how many freepers can pass this test.
"I would expect most public educated youth today to receive a zero or at most get just one right on that test."
But grades don't matter. As long as the child tried he will have high self esteem. That's what really matters, isn't it? And diversity. High self esteem and diversity. Those things are what really matter, right? Those white people in the history books were all racists, anyway. Nothing worse than that! Oh...they hated gays, too! We shouldn't study history because those evil white men will make us feel bad about ourselves, which would give us low self esteem. How counterproductive to a modern education! We should burn all history books before someone becomes offended by one of them. /libspeak
Do you also write Zogby push polling questionaires?
It may be a "stunning failure to educate", but it's an equally stunning success at stifling intellectual curiosity and conditioning children to accept arbitrary authority, which are the primary functions of public schools.

"Popular Vote Movement Makes Headway"
Now they're trying to junk the electoral college. So much
for the Republic.
From the article:
[However, Jacobs said dissatisfaction with the Electoral College system is growing, even in states that may benefit from the current setup.
A lot of Americans "don't like the Electoral College system. They find it to be out of step with expectations about democracy, expectations that our founding fathers did not necessarily share," he said.
"I think time has seen an evolution of a different way of seeing things, a different norm, in which we expect the president to be popularly elected." ]
I think that's why American Idol is so popular. People like to watch Simon Cowell bring this generation of idiots back to reality ;-).

It's the primary function of public schools because it's the primary intent.
The PEW study kind of alludes to this. There are many ignorant people; most of the least-informed and least well-educated groups support democrat candidates.

Look for motives, not for those will o' the wisp intentions.
Good question linda, are there any newspapers with Cal & Hob?
I think we agree. In this instance, what is the difference.
In my view, the differnce is that 'intentions' are merely self-reported thoughts and fancies, while 'motives' are long-lived underlying reasons for acting.
I can never know a person's intentions with certainty, but I can certainly grasp their motives.
You're correct, I should have said motives.
My impression of a "push poll" is that it usually involves using a negative premise to elicit an intended response.
I do not see the connection.
