This is an attitude that I find less than well represented at slashdot. Sometimes I think that people feel they gain more respect if they denounce popular culture in favor of independant things (if one were so inclined, they could place using obscure linux distros as their primary OS in this category). As far as I'm concerned, you'll get my respect if you readily admit to actually liking the Backstreet Boys. How many people are secure enough to do that?

If everyone else was not jumping off the bridge, would you jump just to be different?
Recently, we have seen the government become and more involved in the lives of americans. From the Tobacco settlement to proposed legislation on the movie industry, to bans on video games in public places, it seems that more and more control is being taken from the people. Where do you think the government's responsibility ends and the personal responsibility of the public begins? How will you conduct your administration to reflect this view?
