"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else."- Teddy Roosevelt
"The only artists I have ever known, who are personally delightful, are bad artists. Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are."--Lord Henry Wotton

How are you guys answering these quizzes? I picked the 45 question quizzes to get the most balanced result, and I got Easy Rider and Abe Lincoln. I'm easy going and honest, so silly as these things often are, it pegged me pretty well.
Thanks Matt - I wasn't sure if you'd remember that. I'll apologise to anyone who didn't get it... it was pretty much an inside joke.
But of course, you should check out the story "Up the Down Staircase." It was the movie that pioneered the likes of... well, any movie that looked past the turbulent surfaces of troubled youth and found something nobody else bothered to look for.

I got Sunset Boulevard and Abe Lincoln. I did the 45 questions for both quizzes. Now I wonder what Sunset Boulevard, Easy Rider and Raiders of the Lost Ark have in common. Would Abe Lincoln liked any of these movies if he were still alive?
