Personally, I don't believe that everyone is entitled to an opinion vote, but only those who have taken the time and made the effort to educate themselves so that their opinions votes are informed by understanding all of the information relevant to the subject.

Fixed in order to make it truly unpopular.  ;D

Especially among the gleefully uninformed who are thrilled to be gullible pawns of a ruling class happy to flatter them into voting against their own best interests.

You're an unrepentant enemy of the people... beware the the sacred popular anger!  ;D

Ha! I made my choice long ago for the working class and not the ruling class. Sadly (due in no small part to subversion of America's public education system), the lower classes have become their own worst enemies, selling their votes and their children's futures for trinkets, drug-induced stupor, and empty promises.

No image, Karl.  Too bad, as doubtless it would have been amusing!

I'd rather forget it - anything but "gleeful".

I was in Concord last summer, and much Russian music was being played in the stores; those folks sure know their crap.
