Nothing at all.

Except about polls in general.

The question I would be asking is WHY do those people polled oppose a Palestinian state.

Which gets back to the propaganda issue.

People are fed propaganda to shape their views of a subject.

Then they are polled to find their views on that subject.

Hey, I recall a poll (sorry, Boxley, I can't find a reference for it at this moment) that showed some percentage of people opposed women's suffrage.

Polls are EXTREMELY useful.

Polls are also EXTREMELY mis-used and mis-representated.

If you want to predict who will be elected, exit polls are very accurate. The person being polled knows how s/he just voted.

If you want to see whether the majority of the US population supports social/political issues in a place they can't even locate on a map .....

That's where propaganda comes in.

Which is why I prefer to go from the abstract to the concrete.

Yes, Boxley is pro-war. Even if it means killing children.

Now, when you get away from the abstract "children" to the specific "crush this particular child's head like this (*crunch*)" he gets all weird.

Because emotions and denial do NOT mix well with facts.
