42. 1.4 / 6.4

Some of the questions seemed irrelevant to any reality I've lived in. Life's not a television crime show. The story doesn't end when the bad guy is caught or the court reaches a verdict.

A few times I simply voted by smell. The questions about vigilante justice and amputations were real stinkers, and civilized nations do not allow a death penalty. The U.S.A. is not a civilized nation.

I suspect my personal views are more radical than this test can gauge. Crime is a big business in the U.S.A., from prisons to television, to insurance, to banking and corporate fraud. Thus crime is promoted here.

Our masters in this plutocracy would like us to focus on the street crimes, and make criminal things that are not crimes such as drug addictions, thus diverting our eyes from the high crimes and treasons committed in their own board rooms.
