What if they gave a poll and nobody came?<BR/><BR/>A good thing the IDF doesn't consult CNN before making military decisions!<BR/><BR/>I figure the poll is like Amazon book rankings: inaccurate and no matter what the number is, it's depressing. ;-)Sheynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349125682104236452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14782911.post-1153504456623613002006-07-21T12:54:00.000-05:002006-07-21T12:54:00.000-05:00I hate this sort of thing, because every time ther...I hate this sort of thing, because every time there's a poll of this sort, there's always an email campaign of this sort, too... pro and con. The numbers are meaningless. I hate to use the "L" word, but I'm certain there are Arab groups passing along the link just as industriously, getting supporters to vote as a way to show their solidarity... and their community far outnumbers ours. And the higher the number of people voting gets, the louder CNN gets the message that people love their polls, so the polls don't stop. After all, it drives new readers to their website, which is all they care about. It's a lose-lose. So if we keep emailing it along and repeatedly voting, then as far as they're concerned, the more polarizing their polls are, the better. <BR/><BR/>At least Israel continues to do what they have to do, and doesn't give a darn what the world thinks.StepImahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493964460446023478noreply@blogger.com
