8. It's not being freeped, it's being sheeped....

My wife is in New York from yesterday until next week. My daughter and I are going in tomorrow to see her and stay overnight. Both my mother and my mother-in-law called us telling us not to take the subway. Neither of them are freepers and are both for the most part liberals who don't like Bush. But they're also not politically well read and/or aware so they fall for it every single time. I'm sure if either of them responded to that poll they would legitimately and genuinely answer yes.

10. If you only asked that question of actual New Yorkers the answer would

be much higher, for ' no freakin way will I stop using the subway.' I'll be using it tommorrow, it'll be raining, there's no way to get a cab in the rain in NYC, every native New Yawkah knows that.

14. I try not to take the subway anyway.

But then again, my commutes are generally extremely short (I live in downtown Manhattan). My girlfriend didn't take the subway today, but it may have been because she felt like walking.

I find the subway depressing, generally. I also don't trust the BFEE. I'm not afraid of foreign terrorists. I'm afraid of the BFEE.

16. If it was a nice day, I'd walk, and I might just do that anyway with a big

umbrella. New York is a great workout if you walk everywhere but sometimes it's not possible, and people need to get to work. It's really the people coming in from the outer boroughs who might not have that much choice but to take public transportation.

Agreed, when the BFEE said that there was nothing to worry about, that's when I really started to worry.

13. I'd guess most of those saying Yes have never

Rode the subway in their lives, or even set foot in NYC.

17. Geez... I would like to say "no" but folks need to cut we traumatized

NYers/ NJers some slack... when I heard the news yesterday I called my husband and told him to stay off the subways... I know some other Duers did the same with their family members. I don't think that fearing for the life of your family members or self corresponds to any political philosophy.

As much as you want to forge ahead against what you (intellectually) know is sadistic and abusive WH propaganda, the reaction to the idea of your family member (or self) getting blown up is visceral. I told my husband this morning to stay off the subway, and I stand by that. I've got a 3 year old, and work PT- she needs him and I need him.

People in this region have been living under the confused cloud of real terrorist activity (WTC) and politically motivated propaganda (convenient terror alerts) since 9-11. Many of us know that we have been manipulated by this evil B*sh admin with terror alerts coinciding with news events they would prefer to drown out. All I can tell you is, my personal experience of watching the towers fall from the water's edge in Hoboken, NJ... my cousin, a Goldman Sachs employee, that got the hell out of the building just in time and literally had to run away from the falling debris ... having your commuter bus evacuated because of a bomb scare in the Port Authority.... the trauma inflicted by the evildoers in the WH... the hollow promises of catching Bin Ladin, a foolish war that has made terrorism a cottage industry... so much has impacted the daily lives of folks who live here... I would not begrudge anyone their reaction to yet another shrill alarm bell.

I respect people who say "fuck it" and not change a thing in their daily lives, like taking a subway, but also respect and empathize with those who decide to walk the 10 blocks instead. I am in the latter category.

So, i will abstain from this poll, but am not sure that it is really meaningful to anyone but a terrorist, who would enjoy the response of someone like me.

18. I love these MSM polls where they test how well their propaganda is

working. Funny.
