Storey Clayton, who I 'knew' from my days on APDA has done it again with his Book Quiz, which he just added in mid-Feb. While not as great as the Country Quiz, this is still good.




You're The Guns of August!

by Barbara Tuchman

Though you're interested in war, what you really want to know is what
causes war. You're out to expose imperialism, militarism, and nationalism for what they
really are. Nevertheless, you're always living in the past and have a hard time dealing
with what's going on today. You're also far more focused on Europe than anywhere else in
the world. A fitting motto for you might be "Guns do kill, but so can
diplomats."

This one is good because it's a very closed society of people who will get it:




You're A Theory of Justice!

by John Rawls

In the beginning, you lived in a town. The town had many problems!
Rather than moving, you decided to come up with the idea for the best town ever. Going
all the way back to the original position, you created the idea for the best town ever!
Lo and behold, the best town ever looked almost identical to the town you lived in. You
decided to stay in the town. Now you resent people mistaking your refined thought
experiments for "the wall of stupidity" in high school debate
rounds.

Right now I'm really annoyed by: people who won't grow up. We're all guilty of acting the same way around a certain group of people. For example, I hang out with my high school friends, I act like I did in high school. Yes, it's a little different if you've spent time apart, but if you never have......yea, that's what's scary. Growth many times, takes space, and that's true for friends and family. Get some space from what's comfortable, what you know! Yes, there are exceptions to this rule, but they are very few and I've only met two in my life and many many more who fall under this rule.
