“I haven’t trusted polls since I read that 62% of women had affairs during their lunch hour. I’ve never met a woman in my life who would give up lunch for sex.”
- Erma Bombeck
The fluff that passes for political news these days most make the informed voter cringe. The most difficult dilemma in trying to find some real information about the positions and plans of politicians is sifting through “Entertainment Tonight” style news articles like this.
As election season draws near, keep in mind that your goal should never be to ask, “How will others vote?” how will you vote, and why? Polls change for the most ridiculous reasons, but positions and arguments are as strong (or only as strong) as the principles and premises they’re based on.
“Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them.”
- Immanuel Kant
