I was given twelve questions, and I triumphantly aced nine of them. (Gimme a break, I haven't had fifth grade history for quite some time now..) I feel like all Americans should at least 'try' the full version of this test a few times in their life. I believe it would make us all better citizens and remind us both what our rights are, but also our 'duties' as citizens of America. Fo sho.<br /><br />9 outta 12 ain't bad, I expected worse.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.hachemuda.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/danosman.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 226px;" src="http://www.hachemuda.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/danosman.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />ps- that's Dan Osman.

I was pleased to find the first chapter focusing on awareness of the body, as this is something that I can relate to at this time in my life. <br />I am cautious of what my body ingests, and I have become very active, even in the face of winter, and I feel better than ever before.
