But it's worse than that. Not only do the polls lie and mislead, and not only are they unreliable at the best of times, they influence people's thought and voting habits. Making it all a gambling game of popularity, second-guessing, and 'my poll is better than your poll'.
Undemocratic, I call it.
Hmmmpht.
Sometimes I think the world is ruled by sheer nonsense.
(But at least we're not dropping bombs on people to prove our manhood.)
