Doug; my point was, those polls mean NOTHING. (Which is why I referred to them as silly). For you to say I should find some poll figures to support my position means you are either being sarcastic, or are far more dense than I would have guessed. You seem to be saying that, because I am in the minority (according to these silly polls), I therfore must demonize these polls instead of accepting my minority status.

It doesn't matter to me if I am in a majority or minority. I have the courage of my convictions either way. You, who seem to need to rely on having some silly poll bolster your opinion, sadly, do not.

I think the death penalty is wrong. A lot of people feel the way I do; a lot of them do not. But I would rather actually talk to someone about their beliefs and hear their qualifications or justifications, than just dumbly accept the fact that they answered "yes" or "no" on some goofy poll...

Those silly polls have seriously eroded democracy and political activism in this country. Not to mention encouraging people to be stupid.
