On a recent survey taken by over 1,000 people on RichardDawkins.net, the majority of the voters (61%) claimed to beleive that "No, things happened pretty much the way the mainstream media presents it (even if the Bushies are evil enough to conceivably do something that harmful, no one could have pulled that big a job off without being caught)." This did not surprise me, since I believe most of the American population believe what they see on the news and other television programs. Though it us upsetting to think that American's can be brainwashed by a simple news anchor telling a story which is edited and "lightened up" for the masses. I concur that mostly everything we hear in the newspaper and on the news is edited to be more pleasing for us to hear, and we are left in the dark about a lot of details. The second highest percentage of voters (16%) voted "No, but the Bushies might have left the barn door open. I'm not sure." This site may be completely democratic, but with all variables constant this shows that American's believe that the last presidential party was very deceitful and secretive. Upsetting to think that most of the majority of voters think that the World Trade Center wasn't taken down by controlled demolition, but yet have little trust in the presidential party? Very odd if you ask me. The third highest percentage of voters (13%) agreed upon "Yes, and there's plenty of evidence for it, damn it." I believe this group of voters are the people who have read and researched about the conspiracies and see pliable evidence. I didn't expect this group to be very large because of the time needed to research this matter, but I'm glad people care and aren't brainwashed by whatever the government says. The lowest percentage of voters (5%) agreed on No, and I'm offended that you'd say such a thing about the US's fine administration. We ought to lock you up in Gitmo for suggesting it." These are the "die hard" American's who believe the United States is the most loyal,honest, trustworthy country on this Earth. I have nothing to say to that.
