but I have to agree with the thrust of the quiz to score well - doesn't that make me a sheeple?

It was too long so I stopped reading. Actually I either didn't know or was too bored to look it up. I did think I got one answer right but I have forgotten what is was as I was typing this.

Yes it makes you and me and everyone else here "sheeple". We all score well (or poorly) on this quiz because we're not paranoid about everything.

It is bizarre how in the CT wackosphere, if one doesn't follow along and believe every paranoid delusion any wacko posts on the internet without hesitation, they are then called a sheeple
