There are two ways to take a poll.
Jay Leno takes his "Man on the Street" poll, and inevitably
shows how stupid Americans are.
It is also possible to take a poll in a way that gives away the
answers. The question informs and leads to the desired answer. People
get the answer "right" because the question leads them there.
We should all be leaders. We should all be trying to make one another
more intelligent, and wiser.
