What were you drinking when you wrote this?  What is wrong with the post,
which, BTW, makes a very valid point?  Proper surveys are important tools, but
too many idiots are out there who will, for a buck, construct a survey in the
manner of the one quoted above.  Given the two choices, most people will
choose the response the survey was designed to elicit, (in the case above- -
Communism.)

Somebody makes frequent comments about Prozac in here.  This type of post is
the obvious reason why.
