and estimates are that roughly 2 million people celebrate it.

I'd be curious to know what these estimates are based upon, because I have a tough time believing it's even this many.


The US has just a bit less than 40 million black people. Is it hard to believe that 6-7% of them celebrate Kwanza? is it hard to believe that around 2/3 of 1% of the entire population set aside time to celebrate their heritage? It's not hard for me, and I believe that such a small group represents a rather large disconnect from the mainstream.

More republicans would vote for Ron Paul, and he is (sadly) considered too fringe to even be a relative frontrunner, let alone given a shot at running for the white house.

Of course, you won't see this post because you're unwilling to hear a true libertarian point of view. So there goes that.
