another online "poll"

online polls are stupid if they are meant to mean anything other than fun. the people who respond to them are not a representative sample and many allow the same person to vote multiple times. in fact, i don't even think they should be called a "poll"--to do so just invites confusion with legitimate sampling of public opinion.

although i take no stock in them, i do enjoy freeping them. over the past few days, there have been a bunch of online "polls" about the same sex marriage issue (e.g. see trish's blog).

that being said, if you want to have some fun, here's one from u.s.a. today that needs a lot of work. freep away...

(poll via tripp, who is engaged to an entirely different trish than the one referenced above. let's not get all confused)
