Cartman - history prof?

Tonight's South Park episode is about when Cartman goes back to 1776 when the Founding Fathers were debating whether or not to declare independence from England. The show was pointing out how only 1/3 of colonists actually supported such a move, 1/3 were dead set against independence, and 1/3 were undecided, drawing a parallel to our modern situation.

Other than the fact that the show is about cartoons and way too fake-bloody, it's often quite relevant. Conclusion reached - the country can have its cake and eat it too by going to war but allowing its citizens to protest thereby leaving the government blameless.

Of course, that's not really how it ends up working, but South Park always manages to make some snarky - and usually spot-on - commentary on modern world events.
