The religious side usually asserts that there is some omnipotent, omniscient, [...]

There is an increasing trend in which certain reasonably educated individuals in the computer software industry have decided to take it upon themselves to endeavor into a mildy annoying, carelessly destructive, and decidedly irresponsible realm: that of unathorized authorization. By this I mean to say that these people have taken the normally enormous leap from [...]

I am interested to know how many other people out there believe that there is something wrong with the current United States government. I’m not necessarily looking for positions on specific issues, but rather would just like to know roughly what proportion of the people think something is wrong.
