Lisa Simpson would have done well on this survey
Posted Mar 1st 2006 8:01PM by Adam Finley
Filed under: Animation
A recent survey conducted by the McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum revealed
that those surveyed knew more about The Simpsons than they did about the
Constitution. When asked, more people could name characters from the show
than could name any of the five freedoms upheld by the First Amendment. That
would be freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom to assemble,
freedom of speech, and freedom to petition. Of course, you guys already knew
that. My thoughts on this are that such surveys are meaningless. It's not
that hard to find people who know more about one thing than something else.

Let's see:
The right to pay the bear tax.
Redress of grievances ("We're here, we're queer, we want more beer.")
The right to release the hounds.
Freedom of expression ("Why you little ...")
Freedom of religion. And to make space waffles instead of practicing
religion.
Freedom to be injured by spinning newspapers.
Freedom of purple monkey dishwasher.

Only bears should pay the bear tax, and they have no Constitution.
