To believe or NOT to ???

December 21, 2009

2 days ago I had a very good flash of UNDERSTANDING.

It was about the ACCURACY or the FALLACY of accepting Poll NUMBERS as GOSPEL TRUTH.

1- The discovery was this simple realization that Pollsters are careful during elections to give out ACCURATE Numbers...............WHY?

because the election is just in a week .............and if they guess wrong , they will lose credibily.

2- BUT during the IN-BETWEEN period like we are in NOW...................what do you think they are UP TO ??

well...............POLLoCRATS feel they have a FREE HAND to actually MAKE OPINION , create TRENDS and ADVANCE their personal or their PATRONS 's POLITICAL AGENDA.

SO, knowing that numbers have a tendency to become SELF_FULFILLING prophecies . BECAUSE people and specially the TALKING HEADS..........in the MEDIA actually act as if the POLL NUMBERS .............are GOSPEL TRUTH.


So, take the advice of the person who first COINED the term POLLOCRACY in a letter published in Ann ARBOR NEWS on May 4, 1990 ie almost 20 years ago.
Do you know what is the definition of POLLOCRACY.................THE DICTATORSHIP of the Pollocrats................who shape public opinion by their questionning and the people they choose to call on.
You probably have heard Politicians say that you CAN MAKE Polls say whatever YOU WANT.!!!

So excercise SKEPticism AND EVEN cynicism . Your belief could be LEthal to our DEMOCRACY.
just think this DEMOCRACY or POLLOCRACY

Democracy is achieved with our VOTES while Pollocracy about 1000 people's OPINION !!


iF you are LUCKY TO GET A CALL for your opinion remember the difference !!

and PLEASE try to find the intent of the pollster and if not sure do as I do during elections..................I HAVE NOT DECIDED YET !
In between elections like now , I am willing to even LIE to THEM .
