Civics Quiz
According to Acton's blog, colleges and universities fail at teaching american civics.
You can take the quiz from ISI. I scored 90% (67 of 70 correct). Interestingly, most of that stuff I learned before (and after) college, not during.

Wonder
George Parkin Grant wrote that "We seem collectively incapable of regarding the world as something more than raw material for our own project. Perhaps we are lacking the recognition that our response to the whole world should not most deeply be that of doing nor even that of terror and anguish but that of marveling and wondering at what is, that of being astonished by it, or perhaps best, in a discarded English usage, admiring it. Only by marveling at the world, by contemplating it, only by a posture of admiration, could we wisely determine what sorts of projects we ought to pursue." (From Mars Hill Audio 80x2)
