freedom on the march

In a large survey of high school students, 36 percent of respondents said the media should get "government approval" of news articles prior to publication. One-third of the surveyed brats, between games of "Grand Theft Auto" and grabbing meaty fistfuls of french fries, say the U.S. media has "too much" freedom. http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/life/20050131/bl_bottomstrip31.art0.htm

Though it's encouraging to see that this youthful generation of Americans includes so many free thinkers, the editors of tkid's blog want all of its readers to know that U.S. government approval need never apply to the postings on this web page. That's because this blog is fiscally supported and physically controlled by a multinational conglomerate based in a 26-storey glass skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (that's a foreign country people). If you're ever in the Lump', come check us out, we'll serve you a Tsingtao and some goat's eye soup.
