Problem is... these polls are just polls and nothing else. It is also just the media's way to 'find out more about you.' Therefore, be leery of ALL polls because they do not have YOUR best interest in mind. Or the country's for that matter. In my opinion, they have made their job out to be SHOCK JOCKS and nothing more.
*MSNBC* or CBS or LOONY TUNES is not going to change anything... if they are trying to make the public feel that way. Which, undoubtedly, I think they are. I am not a member of any church or organized religion but I feel that it should just be kept as it is because our founding fathers wanted it that way and we are getting further and further and further away of what our founding fathers envisioned this country to be. In fact, our country is so far out in left field "as a country" now that it is a joke. My $.02. Lori On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 5:02 PM, Tod E.
