As the remaining executive officer of DEEPER, I would like to point out that there are no secrets worth stealing, as they and anyone extraneous who knows about them are atom-smashed regularly. As such, I do not fear the spy.

How many B12s did you get so far?

Also I put down Senate Majority leader as third in line. I feel so sad

Another one of my group members has the spreadsheet the data is saved to and has not yet sent me the link; when I get it, I'll report some stats.

I knew Diane Feinstein. Also knew Speaker of the House being 2nd in line after the VP. Followed by the President Pro Tempore, or very simply the longest serving member of the Senate's currently serving majority party. I know this because a 84-yr old takes over the US should the top 3 die. Looking over the charts now, it amuses me that eventually the Secretary of Veteran's Affairs is tapped for the job.
As is, terrifyingly, the Secretary of HomeSec. Fortunately, a very large number of well protected people would have to all die in a very short time frame for that to happen.
On the other hand, one well-placed nuke... :/

does washington d.c. have any decent commuter trains

you know, decent for american standards

i'm not very picky

Filled out, despite the fact I'm British.

Oddly enough, most of my guesses were right  ???
Apart from the Californian senators. Had to look that up.

Thought I'd help out so I filled it in. I'm not a US citizen though, hope that's not a problem.

Any chance of seeing the results? Color me curious. :)

American standards, yes. The colors, 4 lines. Not nearly as many as NYC though.

Thanks for filling out the survey, everyone! There's been a total of 41 responses so far, which is FANTASTIC for someone who's used to apathetic mall denizens.

From what I can see, Bay12...
- Supports minority candidates for president.
- Mostly disapproves of the government's handling of terrorism (not all we disapprove; we had a lot of ambivalents and a reasonable chunk of approves).
- Has a somewhat low opinion of the US's economy (a LOT of ambivalent answers there, though).
- Answered either the previous administration, Congress, or 'none of the above' for who is to blame for the current recession.
- ...Refrained from putting their race or age, which, while understandable, makes it hard for us to categorize by demographics, which is required for the assignment. :/
- Dislikes the lack of ambivalent responses.

And yeah, I agree that the lack of ambivalent responses is off-putting. In my defense, I was neither the person who wrote the questions nor the person who transcribed them to that form.



Out of curiosity, who put 'n+1' for how many senators there are, 'Charlie Chaplin' for who would take over the presidency if the president and vice president died, and 'Its citizens. Thanks, Obama.' for the biggest problem facing the nation?
