    I am sure it is quite quiet in the country, but those are two different words that are not interchangeable.

    Quite - a lot
    Quiet - lack of noise

    This PSA is provided by your local grammar pendant.

    46% is less than half, so less than half of the people polled approve of how the president is doing things.

    I wouldn't want to deal with the Meter or so of ash, but in most of the country it is something that could be dealt with. It is the global crash of agriculture for however long that would be a bad thing, but that we could prepare for as well.

    The US is a collection of independent states that vary widely in attitude and environment, from the fly over states with their minuscule populations to the East and West coasts with large population densities and many different people put together.

    Don't act like Europe is really any different than the US, they are roughly equivalent. The EU is more akin to the US than the US to any single country in the EU.

    To the people engaging in this spying and other things, they are trying to protect their society from an invader that has learned to hide among the general populous. They feel they are protecting the very thing that you feel they are destroying. The question is, which is more tolerable to most people, and it sounds like most people don't give a damn about the spying, but don't want small incidents like 9-11 to happen every 100 years.

    Forced? Let me guess, you don't have kids. My sons born in 2000 and 2002 did not get circumcised. The doctors offered the option, and explained the dangers and benefits of the procedures with the latest medical studies available on the subject.

    Perhaps you should get out of mom's basement and try making a kid before spouting off on what is forced on people.
