I'm sorry to not please you, GAsux, but ultimately it seems that unless I post an article entitled "America: HEY! GIMME A BREAK!", you will remain unpleased. But I accept your role as the perpetual apologist on this board.
Maybe I'm just a lucky guy, but it would seem that ALL of the people I know who think this way must've been included in this one poll!!! WOAH!
Many people I have spoken to think this way, in fact, I had to spend a LONG time the other day convincing a friend of mine that they haven't found any weapons or chemicals. A poll is a sample of our public's mindset, and the amount isn't generally what matters, but rather, how randomly they were sampled. If you can find any research that counter-acts this data, fine. Please, show me, give me hope! But the bottom line is that you have a serious case of denial if you think this
isn't a widespread, national problem.
