Exactly. That person is aware that the poll will give a false picture of where he stands, no matter how he answers. Imagine a Green Party supporter facing a survey that asks him to answer from 0 to 10, where 0 means Republican and 10 means Democrat, and that asks him to rate various proposed methods to keep the price of fossil fuel low. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
