well, Old Guy....I never suggested C-Span was biased, or that they HAD polls. I just expressed my view that a significant portion of those who want to hear their viewpoints on the air ARE a bit biased and often as muddled as the old woman you noted!

I learned about this phenomenon years ago in Kansas when I, personally, heard one woman object to that newfangled "daylight savings time", saying "It'll confuse the chickens!"...and another chiming in on a discussion of whether White barbers should be required to cut the hair of Blacks with...."They ain't trained to do that, and besides, those folks don't have real hair anyway..it's just wool!"

It can be, as I say, briefly amusing to hear some of those, but it is seldom educational, except to remind me how much ignorance is really out there!
