OT Terry, don't really want to get too contentious here. Let me just say that it is both ignorance and manipulation (which is what politics is all about) as Chris says. There are plenty of crazies on all ends of the spectra of opinion. Somewhere along the line common sense always seems to go out of the window and what the majority of reasonable and rational thinking people would want to happen is not the eventual outcome (because it runs counter to the wishes of one or more special interests who influence and control events). Of course, that's "democracy" for you. And before anybody says I'm being anti-American, let me just add that we have the same sort of "democracy" in Britain and the same sorts of crazies (we just don't let them buy automatic weapons).
