Eighty Percent of People Don’t Like Things and/or Other Stuff
I disapprove of so-called news stories where the “news” is some stupid poll number or result. That’s not news, friends: that’s some think-tank’s or news outfit’s propaganda masquerading as news. It’s horseshit. People should pay as little attention as possible to polls because they are, in themselves, not news; they are the freshly-withdrawn thermometers from the collective ass of John Q. Public, indicative of nothing.
Politicians should pay the least attention of all since this is, in fact, a representative form of government we have —and these morans ought to know from their own experience, judgement, and conscience whether they should vote yea or nay on the issues of the day. Only connivers and plotters chart their courses by the shifting winds of their constituents’ attitudes.
