bad news for America

Here's a good reason to think the United States is in rough shape... Apparently, 47% of Americans don't believe in free speech. It would be interesting if they could correlate this data with political party membership...

With an Obama presidency, we will likely see a revival of the "Fairness doctrine," especially if the idea has such popular support.

Yeah, that's terrible.

So misguided.

The polls in this article scares me even more: http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2008/08/15/newer_deal/

88% of the country believes in increasing the minimum wage? I can understand 60%, but 88%!?!

I didn't realize that I was in the extreme minority.

Holy cow 88%

Personally I believe the minimum wage should be increased to 60k/year. I need nice stuff
