Could you keep your citizenship if someone knocked on your door right now and said you had to know what every new immigrant being sworn in as an American citizen has to know?
A challenge for you this week... Take the U.S. Citizenship test and see how you do (yes, we can all Google the answers, but try it without all your digital tools the first time ;)). Be honest--humble if necessary--and let us know how you do.

For the sake of discussion, do you think our country (or any country) might be better off if continuing to keep one's citizenship beyond their 18th birthday required them to pass this test, maybe not once, but every six or so years? What if citizenship--like driving--wasn't a right but a privilege we had to continue to prove our ability to responsibly manage? Might we care more? Want it more? Take care of it better? Or would it make no difference?
65%. I am properly mortified. ;[
