I know these things are for fun...but there's no way I can answer these as either A or B. At least most of the questions. The other link was better....but once again, there are mitigating circumstances that make answering them impossible....at least for me.

To me it is sort of like voting. Most bills and issues are not black and white but a decision has to be made. I found the real policy questions in the second link interesting as they show the complexity created from bills full of stuff that have nothing to do with each other.
