More Evidence: If You're Poor, You're Fucked

Or, I should probably say, "If you're not really, really fucking rich, you're fucked."

According to a recent study, high school students have been infected by a species of virus that renders them murky in the noggin when it comes to understanding just what "freedom" means:
"When told of the exact text of the First Amendment, more than one in three high school students said it goes 'too far' in the rights it guarantees."

Let's just get on with the plutocracy already-- no more euphimisms. In the great, new "ownership society," it will hardly be surprising to find out that some pigs will be more equal than others. Judging by these high schoolers, the future generation of Americans will, after receiving its "good behavior" carrot for the day, lay down in the slop and collectively say, "Thank you, sir. May I have another?"
