      Yes. Remember that story where a Linux user happily switched to XP?

    76% of americans also think Saddam was directly responsible for 9/11. Don't be proud of the failure of free press and democracy.

    No they don't, only 51%. Considering that 11% of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a map, that isn't too bad.

    The U.S. is not a democracy, it is a republic.
