I'd like to think so. It is always disconcerting when some strange ideas find adherents; neo-nazis, holocaust deniers, etc. I worry a bit about the anti-vaccine movement and Dr. Oz selling snake oil, but overall, yeah, it keeps us all interested. (I'm reading a study of the two groups arguing about Richard III in England, one considering him practically a saint, the other thinking him the devil incarnate.)
On Idaho college campuses, a tiny but vociferous minority, supported by NRA clout has overcome the vast majority of students, citizens and faculty to permit the carrying of concealed weapons. Handy in intro to polysci and astrophysics labs, I guess. (all sides were NOT heard from)

And where does THAT exist?
Not so much on college campuses these days, unfortunately.

Will: Whatever it is, you won't get it if any sort of "Fairness Doctrine" comes back, that's for sure.
It's not free/uncensored if it has to get "government thinks it is fair" approval.

Bingo Will!!!
