" ... I think you'll find almost all institutions declining in popular repute"

Yep sure. Ask them to poll on the US military.

Should have read "LIBERAL INSTITUTIONS"

The Democrats just don't get it - it's the messege and the messenger that people don't believe any more.

36%! Who are those people?

1. DNC Flacks
2. Journalists and members of the media
3. University professors and Journalisam schools
4. The homeless

If you don't belong in one of the above catagories, you know the truth.

Heck. I feel so left out. Being intuitive is so burdensome. I knew you were going to send this post but I had to wait.

"right" vs. "write" Ain't spellchecks great? By the by, if one errs, IMHO, by using "right" rather than "write", that is a good mistake.... ;>)

I knew you were going to write that also. But I was busy beating up the Pixie Twits again.

I'm curious about where they found their sample for this survey...I was misquoted many times, almost every time I was interviewed. It was usually minor but there were a few times where the journalist really distorted what I had said or changed the meaning COMPLETELY. I was appalled when it happened the first few times but then grew to expect it.

Ahhh, you're right, so very right :-)

And shame on me for never calling journalists back and insisting on their correcting the quotes...
