Love that CNN front page poll...what worries you more?
Isreal/Leb thing or Iraq? Kind of like "what worries you more - the F5 tornado about to hit your home, or your recently diagnosed terminal disease?"

The collective IQ of those responsible for these "polls" must be in the single digits.

1. They never do polls about our failure to adopt the Metric System
Where is the justice?

3. Curiously, that can be pointed to as the beginning of the end
for America as we know it....

My 30-hour work week!!!


* One out of five is not so good. Walt Disney LIED to me in 1966.

7. Hopefully We Won't Adopt It In My Lifetime.
I hate the metric system. I was in awe as a kid when I found out that we were the odd ones out and not those that used it. But even still, I like our inches and miles and I'd be quite content having never to have to gauge my speed in kilometers till the day I die.

Viva La Customary Units!

2. Mostly I'm worried that the person in our White House is a sociopath.
As for issues, climate change is way up there beyond Georgie's war of choice and the Isreali invasion of Lebanon.

It's not that I fail to abhor these wars, but climate change will certainly be far, far, far worse than these terrible wars.

5. This would be my #1 concern as well. I don't think all is well with
George Bush. Mentally impaired, certainly. Crazy? Possibly.

I'd love to see a poll asking:

Which is your favorite color?

- Red
- Burgundy
- Maroon
- Wine

Important things like that keep us on top of the world! :sarcasm:

6. Unfortunately that they are not including that as an answer
although it should be.
