30% of Americans Want "Balanced" Blogging
Cutie Pi writes "In a recent Rasmussen poll looking at the public's attitudes toward a possible revival of the fairness doctrine by the Democrats, a surprisingly large percentage of those polled seek fairness doctrine mandates (originally intended for public airwaves) to cover the Internet as well. It is encouraging that a minority of people feel that way, but Democrats say 'hands-off the Internet ... by a far smaller margin than Republicans and unaffiliated voters. Democrats oppose government-mandated balance on the Internet by a 48% to 37% margin. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans reject government involvement in Internet content along with 67% of unaffiliated voters.'"
30% still say Bush is doing a good job. It looks like 30% is about the baseline for the uninformed, non-critical thinkers on any topic.
It's also part of the deal by which states with small populations were persuaded to federate with more crowded ones, which could totally swamp their interests if federal elections were by polling the whole mass rather than the jigsaw pieces. Change that and you might see another secessionist movement.
I was taking you seriously until you said this...
"Oh yes, me and my small militia are going to start a war against the United States Army... And we will win our freedom back!" yeah, right...
No sig for the moment.
Or, you disagree with the policies of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. They send men to shoot you.
You're a fool if you think corporations can't hurt you without your consent.
The Neo-cons and the Far-left are controlled by the same force.
By this force:

I hope you understand, in the U.S. Senate, 13 Democrats, 1 Independent and 1 republican belong to this bastard race.
And they claim their entire population is only 1.3% of the U.S. population.
yeah, 1.3% my arse. 13% more like it.
Face it. We have a Zionist-occupied Government here. We all pay average of $60 per year per person going to support an illegitimate nation called Israel.
Do you know that the Jews are controlling our government right?
Read what you wrote! We have *exactly* the world you want! Individuals can and are liable when they "lie or know about important safety information." And what you call the "manufacturer" -- that you say should be protected from liability if consumers understand the risk -- is simply a collective entity with liability rules. And just for fun, in the case of disputes, we'll allow the consumer to sue the entity so as to determine whether it's the "manufacturer" or the management at fault. Congratulations, you have invented the corporation. :D
I'm referring to manufacturer in the same way one would refer to a buisness. I mean the person, or individuals who created the product. Where did I create the fictional legal entity again?
You misunderstand what society is. You seem to think that society is a collective group of individuals, but it's not. Society is the *rules*, the *structure*, by which the individuals function together. Society is as real as the written law books, and as real as social ostracization if certain unwritten rules are broken.
I think I understand the concepts of society.. but then again I think I understand the concepts of Santa Claus too.. neither actually exist.
So.. let me get this straight.. your saying society is words on paper written in some book, correct? You said before that society could not function without corporations, how is it that this book functions, and why would you care if a book or the words in it were malfunctioning?
You think society exists, then prove it. I think its a type of religion created like other religions by people wishing to control other people, but if not, show me a picture of it or something.. because I'll show you a picture of Zeus and Jesus having coffee at Starbucks before you show me a "society". You are using it as a noun right? "The society was hurt by ignoring fictional people called corporations. The society ran across the road." I'm using it correctly right?
