Wait... we're missing someone here. Who is it? And what did they say?

Honestly, I think the question was vauge enough that the answers should count. Though in spirit I agree with Venusian.

wishbone

skeet you're killin' me here!

The Bus

Oh ho! There's Nick Danger and his answer of... French Indochina.

Sorry, Nick Danger! This, Ottoman Empire, and any number of countries that do not exist are a wrong answer. Five points to you!

Venusian

One could argue that Myanmar doesn't exist either if one were so politically inclined to

The booth review is looking very favorable. We need more input though.

CRM114

I think it was pretty clear and the protesting parties answered the way they did to make waves. But technically they are correct.

CRM114

OK, making up ground on this next one hopefully.

Rockmjd23

I didn't.

Regrettably, Cynthia McKinney is no longer in Congress.

Funkpie

I didn't answer the way I did to make waves. Being the 'reverse' sheep, I read too much into the question and figured there were more than the obvious 3 choices. If DoI was specifically cited, I would have answered differently. -John

If that is what you want, you better edit your prior approval of other's answers.

orangecrush

That is the best picture I have seen in a long time.

Venusian

I want to change my answer to Hank Johnson. I'm sure everyone forgot the resident Buddhist in the House.

Question 6: Name one of the first twenty US presidents.

Red Dog

Very slick. I totally forgot about her and she's right next door. He didn't say voting member so you're good.
