Poll question: Do you LOVE or HATE America?
Okay, after 3 years of being called "America Haters" but Bush-loving pigs, let's find out if we really are. I don't think so!

2. Does this question include Texas?
If so, I've got to give it some thought.

3. Hey I was born and raised there! We're not all so bad!
Although huge swaths of it are indeed horrible...

5. Do Texans consider themselves Americans? Aren't they too 'special'?

Just what we needed - more Texas-bashing.

9. Not bashing Texas
Just tweaking the "all hat, no cattle" inclinations of so many Texans.
However, I love Molly Ivins.

11. That's not the way it came across.
But thanks for clarifying. :-)

Molly rules - I've seen her around town a few times. She's always really nice.

6. I LOVE America: people, land, system of govt: HATE lack of participation
by Americans in our Greatest System of Government. It's not the system, it's the lack of users, and lack of education.

8. I'm kind of indifferent about America
We've got lots of good things and lots of bad. I think there are better places to live in the world, we're nothing special.

12. I love a lot of the people, I love California (the beaches, the
mountains, the weather, San Francisco, L.A.,), I love what we're supposed to be about (and what I thought we were about but am finding out we aren't in many ways); Currently, I HATE what this administration has done and I won't even begin to start because we all already know (preaching to the choir - right?)...but I think the thing I HATE the most are the attitudes of people who are totally complacent, apathetic, and completely uninformed regarding what's really going on in this country...it astounds me. I'm disappointed in many of my fellows and that's what bums me out the most...I just thought we (collectively) were smarter than this.

"I don't care about the state it's currently in. It makes me sick. I don't hate it and I don't love it."
