-5.50 / -6.05

I can't get the max scores on any of these things because either I can't get enthusiastic enough (sometimes I merely "agree" instead of "strongly agree"ing, in my old age I have to conserve my effort) or because I read them too literally, e.g., "Those with the ability to pay should have the right to higher standards of medical care and education," to answer that as "strongly disagree" I'd advocate closing all book stores.

What are they trying to get at with "When a person is troubled, it's better not to think about it, but to keep busy with more cheerful things"? What political tendency do you think is associated with optimism? Whereas I can figure out what they mean with "Sex and sin are two sides of the same coin," and of course no one wants to cast himself as a vice law enforcer, but facts are facts, how can you disagree with something so clearly true as that?
