Most of the questions are poorly worded. For example: “A society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens.” That is an old cliché, and there is some truth to it, but there are other factors by which we might judge a society: political freedoms, crime rates, standard of living, infant mortality rate, and so forth.

This one bothered me. It all depends on who you consider the "most vulnerable". If it means "the poor" then I say it's not society's job to pay for everyone's lifestyles. But if it means the the unborn and people with downs syndrome then I am on board.
