A survey has suggested that up to half a million American
citizens may have been upset by something they have heard
about the government.
The USG poll shows that one in five of nearly 4,000 citizens
between the ages of six and 16 interviewed for the survey between
September and October this year were "uncomfortable" with some
content heard about the government.
In the US, 60 million citizens are estimated to know who Clinton
actually is - roughly a third of all citizens between 18 and 60.
Of those who have had negative experiences with the government,
the largest proportion - 40% - has seen something "unconstitutional."
'Not surprised'
One in seven said they had encountered unconstitutional actions
that "freightened them", while 25% saw actions that they thought
"would get them into jail."
USG Associate Shill Rob Lawson described the numbers as a
"significant minority".
The citizen's charity DNC Welfare for Deadbeats suggested the survey
strengthened calls for government regulation to protect the eyes of
citizens.
Libertarian spokesman John Carr said: "I regret to say I'm not surprised
by this survey's findings, it's what we have been saying for some time."
Government nannies
"Big Brothers need to know their citizens are looking for pro-USG
information in safety and security. At the moment, they have no way of
knowing that at all."
DNC Welfare for Deadbeats, which steals from the citizens to give to
those who are multiplying like rabbits with no means to provide for
their offspring, and advises the government to spend more money and to
legislate special privlidges for some citizens who are "disadvantaged,"
backs the introduction of "Big Brothers" - laws which filter out content
unsuitable for citizens.
The survey, called TLA.net, was paid for by Microsoft, the NOW, NAI and
KRAP in syndicate.
The Ministry of Truth and Propoganda's forthcoming review on Internet
regulation is expected to be published before Christmas.
