    I checked em out at the library for free...didn't make any money, but didn't spend any either =)

    Being a pure capitalist, I let supply and demand dictate my profit margin....well and eBaY.

    And I honestly thought I would never use what I learned from Macro and Mirco Economics. Go figure!

    Default Ken Burns Civil War video's on you-tube

    I am currently studying for the Civil War DANTES and was excited to find someone has posted the Ken Burns video series on you-Tube.
    I thought I should share that information here for future test takers.

    This was a hard exam compared to substance abuse. I used IC and Ken Burns for this one. I was surprised to see my 64. Many of the questions were poorly written the answers were exceptionally vague. Good luck!
