"precision research" has anyone heard of this place
i got a call last night from this place telling me they were doing a study on abortion in my state (TX) and wanted to know my view on the subject. I got a bit freaked out and told the guy that i wasn't interested in telling him anything. What would you have said?

1. I would have asked him all kinds of questions.
I would have wanted to know where he was calling from, who was doing the study, who was funding it, how the results were going to be used.

Then, if I still felt it was odd, I would not have answered any of his questions. And, if I felt there was something wrong with the questions at any point in the interview, I would have told him I was done talking.

4. I would have told them to screw off.
Pollsters are not your friends and they do not have the public
interest at heart. Why give them your time for free?
