>a) The reaction of Americans to 9/11 was very different than Spain's reaction to 3/11. "3/11" was a considerably smaller attack in a country that is much more used to terrorist attacks than the U.S. is. >b) The public does indeed favor universal health insurance, but we're already halfway there, and the costs are almost always underestimated by its proponents. "Halfway there" isn't close to universal, and the situation is going in the wrong direction. >c) Most Americans do not support gay marriage. Not even in CA. The courts had to go against the will of the majority. They don't support gay marriage, but they do support civil unions and the like. And even the gay marriage opinions are moving in a liberal direction. >d) Most Americans support restrictions on abortion. Some restrictions. But a very small number would rather not have it at all, and most favor the early ones, which make up like 99% of abortions. -Z
