    LOL

    This could be interesting…esp. since most libertarians tend to vote “no” by default (or at least I do).

    Of course, being a natural contrarian this led me to vote “yes”…

    But B, if you believed that most readers would vote no, then the *logical* answer was “yes”, and to be contrarian you should have voted “no”.

    This looks no better than our choice for President in November.

    I think most people will go with the default. So I did too. After all, I want to be right!

    It’s apparent to me that most people error on the side of being PC and/or just plain wrong. That doesn’t smooth things over, it enables other people to continue to be wrong, or offensive, or whatever, and it only gets worse. Before most people even open their mouth I am thinking “no” as most people are only too happy to be telling me why they are right and I need to sacrifice some of my (insert here) for the betterment of all, just in case.

    Poll: n, a device to acclimate citizens to the realization that their individual votes in elections are of infinitesimal statistical value.

    If I say “yes” i will contradict myself in action, if I vote no, I will contradict myself in intention. NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

    This kind of reminds me of the scene at the beginning of “The Princess Bride”, where the hero has a “poisoned cup duel” against his adversary.
