[QUOTE="excat, post: 2568738, member: 29449"] My Grandmother came to the state's back in the 40's after escaping some really bad stuff behind the Iron Curtain. She studied for a long time to prepare to take the test, then took the long boat ride over. She told me stories about the test, and it was no joke back then. I wish she was alive today, as I can't recall any particulars of the test, but I'll tell you this, that lady never missed a single vote on anything, and understood how our government worked, or was supposed to work, better than most kids coming out of high school today. She had a history, writing, reading, and I even think a speech test. Growing up where she did though, she could speak 5 languages, as it was imperative to her survival. What's funny though, after she passed the test, and got her papers, they filed her name wrong, they inverted her first and middle name, so her legal US name, was not her original name. Stories like that sure make me miss that lady. I was lucky to have the privilege to know her as long and as well as I did, just wish it was longer. :-( [/QUOTE]
