It stuns me that the first amendment still pisses so many people off. (See here and here.)
Over at The Moderate Voice someone wrote: "Corporate control of politics and media are the leading threats to democracy."
To which I HAD to respond: " I love the assumption that the average American (or the average American voter) is such a blithering idiot that they need to be protected from political speech.
I think the biggest threat to democracy is the low opinion many seem to have of their fellow citizens."
