Dear Soter,
 
When all fail, highest scorer even with 25% marks is the best student in a 
class and is the mascot of the class.  ToI comments option may not be the best 
or may be even fail class. But it is so far the best option I have come across 
to understand the public pulse in Indian context. It is more user-friendly and 
has more people hits (700 comments each with average 70 votes makes it 50000 
hits). If Soter or anyone shows a better option I shall thank him.
 
Secondly about TRUTH. I do not think that I know the truth in any matter. If 
any goanet contributor thinks that he knows the truth than he must be Gandhi, 
Buddha or Christ. 
 
Since I do not know the truth, for me the view of a larger group is the TRUTH 
till the time an even larger group says otherwise. I consider collective wisdom 
to be far superior than individual wisdom. 
    
In response to Soter’s comment: If for Rajendra kakodkar the 'Truth' is going 
to be determined by polls conducted by media houses set up by India's 
exploitative class then God save this country. 
 Orinal message: In the ToI poll 26% agree with Rahul but 71% 
disagree.http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Rahul-Gandhi-told-US-Hindu-extremists-are-a-bigger-threat-to-India/articleshow/7115703.cms There
 are also over 700 comments on this topic. The ToI comments option gives a 
better picture of public pulse amongst the net users. What is more interesting 
is that readers can give feedback whether they agree to each comment or not. 
The votes polled by each comment can also be seen. The comments could also be
