-AJ- Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I'd suspect a lot of the 8th graders didn't fully understand all four options either, which would obviously induce random selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 But it's our water that we don't want to sell you. That's going to be the main issue going forward. In the western part of the U.S., for sure. Let the idiots in the west invest in some desalinization plants and plop them on the ocean shore and pipe the water in. Some states spare no expense doing that for oil, so they should bite the bullet and do the same with ocean water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweathog Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Maybe they're referring to the monarchy that's our head? That's what I'm thinking,the Queen is head of state,and also has Supreme Executive Power. So I guess "technically" we are a dictatorship, even though the Queen doesn't exercise the powers of a dictator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
