I usually ace those things. I said oil imports were 50% instead of the 66% they had. We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

I don't even live there. It either means that I am a sad git or that there is too much American influenced news on the tv over here.

And whatever stock market question, yeah... uh... And I missed the underwear bomber question. Then again, I read it about 5:30 this morning so I wasn't really thinking yet.
