The Bill of Rights is there for a reason, damiit....

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/08/30/national/main520314.shtml

Support for the First Amendment has eroded significantly since Sept. 11 and nearly half of Americans now think the constitutional amendment on free speech goes too far in the rights it guarantees, according to a new poll.

The sentiment that the First Amendment goes too far was already on the rise before the terrorist attacks a year ago, doubling to four in 10 between 2000 and 2001.

Considering that, apparently, the great many citizens in this country are complete idiots, I'm very disappointed that the article didn't tell them what to thuink by spelling out a conclusion about all of these statistics.

Such as, "If trends continue in this fashion, and gain political support, in five years, surveys such as this one could be subpoenaed, and every respondent arrested, for dissidence, sedition, and treason."
