I have experience with country building

so when do we start

Neal can change The forum rules to Constitution
Vendor and Feuer Frei are our media, we got that covered
The flag and the crest should be the wolf thats under the post icons (but that is still debatable)
I suggest the roman republic system, with a senate and two councils that are elected every year and one cannot be a counsil wthout the best of subsim badge
Jimbuna and Frau Kaleun should be the king and queen
And we move to a tropical island and use an enormus submarine fleet as our main defence

A Gallup poll shows that 1 in 4 Americans believe we won our independence from a country other than Great Britain. Many people said France. Others said China. 18% of those polled believed the sun revolved around the Earth. 3% had no opinion.

According to another Gallup poll, Americans believed Glenn Beck was the 4th most admirable man in the world. The same poll ranked Sarah Palin as the the 2nd most admirable woman in the world. Elin Nordegren Woods got just as many votes as Maya Angelou.

The average American can tell you more about American Idol or the Casey Anthony trial than they can tell you about the debt issue. I don't think I want them making decisions about it.

NEVER trust polls, no matter the organization.

Skew the question, skew the sample, skew the results and you can show Leonardo DeCaprio to be the most influential american in history.

While I will agree with you up to a point, there's no way of phrasing the question, skewing the question, etc. that would make me answer that the sun revolves around the Earth.

Ah, but polls are not about about a single person. We are talking about sampling a slice of a population. I know I could find an appropriate sample to show that 60% of americans DO believe that the sun orbits the earth.

For example, I'd only need to find 3 people who already believe it, ask 2 more people who don't, and voila.

Manipulate the sample size/content, and you can "prove" almost anything.

So am I a bad person for agreeing with that?

Nope. Just means you think differently from those that named whomever for the most admirable woman in the world.

Frankly, the entire political spectrum has become way too much celebrity and not much in the way of celerity, but please hold the celery.
