Boston.com's surveys are not scientifically valid. They reflect the opinions of only those who vote. More

2. What does "No, I don't support the movement" really mean?
Does it mean that you don't support the full and rather far-left agenda of the ones who always seem to be the only ones to get off their asses and plan these things and get the permits? Or does it mean that those people don't support ending the war? Or does it mean that they don't support the mechanism of public protest to make the point?

Only one space to cover all of the objections I noted above, but three to parse out support.

That certainly IS a "not scientifically valid" adventure. A waste of time.

That said, I'm not leaving home this weekend. It's snowing like a baaaaastid.

4. Somebody has been stuffing the ballot box.
Unless we are lead to believe that 60 percent of America who is against the war don't exist, it's obvious to me somebody has their finger on the balance. If anything, the "support the movement" votes should match or surpass the votes against the movement.
