This thing is retarded. Could not go past question two about puritans. All suggested answers are beyond stupid. You know what - there is more to puritanism than america knows about it. There is more to the world than you see on fox channels. And these questions were supposedly designed by educated people - I feel sad for you people [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

ps Q25: Common law was... - the fundamental law for the Nazis and the Soviets.

Thanks for putting us in the same category. Is this really what an average yankee thinks? Somehow I think most would not be able to tell a difference.

You answered 53 out of 60 correctly — 88.33 %

EDIT:
53) National defense is considered a public good because:
A. a majority of citizens value it.
B. a resident can benefit from it without directly paying for it.
C. military contracts increase employment opportunities.
D. a majority of citizens support the military during war.
E. airport security personnel are members of the Federal civil service.

They give B as the correct answer. Should be A, no?

B is right, public goods are things like parks, highways, national defense, etc. that while we technically pay for through taxes, individuals generally aren't paying much more than others (aside from obv. different income tax levels)
