Following are the results (as of 3:15 P.M. CST 10/15/03)of an opinion poll conducted by the online edition of the
Omaha World Herald (the local rag that I read because it's the only newspaper Omaha has.)
Quote:
Do you believe the words "under God" belong in the Pledge of Allegiance? The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to decide.
· Yes 3408
· No 602
· I am unsure 67
· I have no opinion 59

Keeping in mind that Nebraska, and Omaha in particular, is filled with bible thumping neo-cons, this scares the living hell out of me. How quickly people forget that the last time religion was mixed with politics, people got burned. Literaly. Oh...that's right...I forgot... it was fundamentalist christians doing the burning then too, wasn't it?
EDIT oh, and by the way, one of those 602 "no" votes belongs to me!!
