I hope the day comes, when the politicians find out, that these polls are

manipulated - both from con-supporters and pro-supporters - and that the

outcome does not give any hint as to the real opinion of "Mr. and Mrs.

Average" and which opinion they are going to honour with their vote. But

this day will be the beginning of a big economical crisis, since then all

these opinion gathering institutions will go bankrupt. What a wonderful day,

when fiction will be replaced by facts....



It seems I was dreaming for a moment and I forgot the harsh reality.....
