NEWSFLASH:  don't be an asshole

a few quotes i'd like to throw at ya:

Two-thirds (of polled Americans)  believe the United States president should not have the right to override constitutional requirements that all people in detention should be given a hearing.

Three-fourths agreed with the statement that the United States is a moral leader in the world and should not set a bad example by torturing or degrading people in detention.

you can read the whole article here.

true, this poll applies to 892 people surveyed, but i'd like to think it represents the majority of opinion in america... here's to hoping this sentiment carries through to november...
