Re: Article: A Nuke Train Gets Ready To Roll



Sure they are "manipulated" -- so what?  The poll itself says that it is not
scientific.  It doesn't pretend to be.  However, it is an expression of
SOMEONE's views.  It's about as good as letters to one's Member of Congress.  
those also come from vocal minorities, and are stimulated by organizations
that advertise "write your Congressman about..."   Having worked in Congress,
I can tell you that these come from  self-selected groups, just like these
polls, but they are generally all (or most) that the member of Congress has
by which to judge public opinion in his or her district.
