That reminds me of the research this group is doing/has done, which is
somewhat related to your points here. The basic upshot is that most people
really are moderate, and share more views in common than we tend to
appreciate.

Last year, I was interviewed for a public radio show in Europe. There was
nothing more exciting for me to be in the spotlight. A week later they ran the
interview and it was eerie to hear myself say things I didn't remember saying.

I mean, I said it, but I didn't say it like that. At first I thought I was
crazy and didn't remember the interview correctly. Luckily, I had recorded the
whole session on my computer. I was not crazy.

The interviewers questions were rephrased, and my answers where edited to make
them more dramatic.

I had received many calls from journalists, and many didn't run the story at
