Polls? You believe polls? How about Santa CLause, the Easter Bunny and
the Tooth Fairy, too, while you're at it? No, I have no belief in
polls. They are slanted to the poll developers slant. And I am not an
innocent...I am well aware of what goes on in the world.



How do you propose we find out what the public wants if we don't use
polls? Are all the polls wrong or just the ones you don't like?


The majority of polls are slanted and biased...I suggest rather than
polls we vote...I've listened to people taking polls...half of them
don't even understand what they're being asked...I even doubt that more
than 50% of those that go to the voting booth vote with anything but a
gut feeling or a biased belief founded more on peer pressure, familial
history, or the 30 minute nightly news interspersed with commercials for
Burger King...I do not believe the average American is an informed
voter...and yet, they do their "patriotic" duty and parade off to the
voting booth uninformed or unable to dicipher facts, figures, and
opinions...
