Simple short geography test for you
« on: Sat, 22 June 2013, 01:30:07 »
Read this news story, and then see if you can identify where the 4 locations are.  WITHOUT using the internet see if you can answer the 4 questions below.  Please do NOT post the answers in this thread, but just post how many out of 4 you got right.  I knew the answers, but I've been a ham radio operator all my life, and I worked as a radio officer on merchant ships for 10 years.  I've been to all 7 continents and Greenland, so I have a bit of an advantage here.  I think most Americans are so dumb when it comes to geography, and I want to see if you can even get one answer right.  NO CHEATING!  Thanks.

“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
- Franklin Roosevelt 1933

I got two right away, one after a bit of thinking and I was unsure about the last one, but after I had checked I saw that I was right.

BTW, question #2 can be deducted from the article.
