these pollsters are so biased! they should have asked "Is the United
States system of politics and economics morally superior to one in
which a guerrilla army marches into the big cities and uses bayonets
to force everyone to leave and do peasant work in hastily-created
collective farms instead, while punishing anyone who has significant
amounts of education?" ;-)
