The fight for a

The Great Divide
I’m seem to be in a quiz-taking mood these days.
The Slate has an interesting quiz that tells you how
red or blue you are (in the political sense). As expected, I came out in the
middle. That’s OK, I guess. My favorite color is purple, anyhow.
BTW, when taking the quiz, you’ll likely be presented with names and concepts you’re
unfamiliar with. Resist the temptation to Google them. Which wrong answers you pick
are as important as your right answers.
