hantsbear | Perception vs. Reality... (Reply)

I'm in a provoking/provoked mood this morning; indulge me. A poll by CNN shows, out of a survey of 1002 Americans polled, 50% were in favour of W's constitutional amendment to ban any form of marriage other than one man and one woman. And in one foul swoop, denying rights to a proportion of the population. Forever. Now it seems to me this; an awful lot of America's minds are effectively controlled by The Church, be it Catholic, Southern Baptist, Methodist or Latter Day Saints to name but a few. Compared to the UK, where an awful lot of minds are controlled by the media, whether it be The Sun or Sky TV (both owned by Rupert Murdoch) or The Daily Mail (owned by right wing Old Money). That's just my perception. I am, as always, open to other possibilities...
