It's things like this that make me glad i live an a different continent
also, i fail at typing correctly
It's funny when Americans (or citizens of other countries for that matter) always proclaim foreign observers should not confuse them with their government - but when inspected more closely it seems like most democracies today got exactly the kind of retarded administrations they deserved.
>Hundreds of high school students said they thought the Government should approve critical articles before they are published in the media...
>The research was carried out by the University of Connecticut, which questioned more than 100,000 US high school students...
So they found maybe two hundred dumbfucks out of 100,000 people who are generally in the most dumbfuck period of their lives. I can guarantee you this article is grossly overstating things, and that the vast majority of normal people do not feel this way.
Also, Connecticut is not iconic of America as a whole... It's one of the smallest states, crammed up there in whacky New England.
They didn't say the research was carried out IN Connecticut. It was carried out BY the University of Connecticut. Perhaps the researchers used the new-fangled "long distance" telephones I've heard so much about?
In Connecticut? Maybe...
