Default ABC News Poll - Should Planes be flying so close to the skyline?
Time to voice your opinion.

ABC News is running a poll to see if planes should be allowed to fly close to the Manhattan skyline after 9/11.

Please pass this link along and get the vote out.

Incredible how close it is, Mike!

We are only 200 votes ahead!

So many people just don't understand!

Number three is not bad either. I work in law enforcement and agree that laws are only effective if people obey them. Bad guys don't care.

JL, I think ABC worded it that way for a reason.

They hoped to split the rational people up into two categories and say that the people preferred the radical opinion.

Just my right leaning biased opinion of the media again.

the only thing ABC wants out of this poll is page views on the Web site.

Bob:

I agree that abc news goal is to drive traffic to their site. Unfortunately the poll then becomes a statistic for further reference.

"A 2006 poll by ABC News showed that xx % of the people polled said that the US should ......." The politicians eat up this stuff.

Nothing like lies, **** lies and statistics.

Back to building,

-Mike
