People can be really dumb. Lately I've noticed a lot of references to various polls as evidence of truth. For instance a poll showed that X% of Americans surveyed agree with that statement that global warming is at least as much a threat as terrorism. So a bunch of bloggers pointed to it and said, "See, we were right, global warming is going to destroy soon if we don't do anything."

Sorry buddy, but a poll of random Americans (50% of which can barely find the United States on a map of the world) reveals more ignorance than truth.
