    And I thought you said that you were open-minded? And that you didn't make judgements about the beliefs and opinions of others?

    Tell me something, Raven, ....if "your" candidate had been elected and most of the people in the nation hated him and his policies, how would you feel?

    No. What do you mean? There are numerous Texans who feel just like many of the easterners or others. Please explain how you've singled out Texans for anything? Do you have any statistics or something?

    I voted for Bush. Don't forget, he was running against Kerry, not Solomon.

    I wish we had someone good to vote for. A Reagan, a Jefferson, a Lincoln, a Washington. But all we seem to get is Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. Hey, looks like it's Clinton's turn this time! Which Bush do you think will come after her?

    PS I just watched the video (I was at work earlier and our internet connection sucks there so it wouldn't play), pretty funny. But I don't imagine it's difficult to edit a video to make someone look stupid. You could get every answer but one correct, and they put the one you missed in the video.

    Those people were definitely stupid. Was that video for real though? My 2 1/2 y/o brother could answer half of those questions right. All of those people need to be killed if it was real.

    "When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of
    sense, he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is that they
    are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the
    most elemental -- men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and
    whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So
    confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack, or count himself
    lost. His one aim is to disarm suspicion, to arouse confidence in his
    orthodoxy, to avoid challenge. If he is a man of convictions, of enthusiasm,
    or self-respect, it is cruelly harder.

    The larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before small
    electorates, a first rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying
    even a mob with him by the force of his personality. But when the field
    is nationwide, and the fight must be waged chiefly at second or third hand,
    and the force of personality cannot so readily make itself felt, then all
    the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically the most devious and mediocre
    -- the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a
    virtual vacuum.

    The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is
    perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of
    the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the
    plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

    -H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
