Please, take part in our
2010 Personal Perspective Poll
It’s simple! It’s easy! It’s interactive!
Only one of two answers will be recognized per item – a Yes, you agree OR a No, you don’t.
STEP 2: In the Subject line of the message, type: poll
STEP 3: In the body of the message, just indicate the number of every statement below that you can agree with – you don’t have to agree absolutely, just essentially. In other words, a yes with an * is still a Yes. It will be presumed that every number not listed is a No.
STEP 4: Your reward for participating will be, from the universe of possibilities, one free pdf ebook of your choice, so somewhere in the body of the message, please indicate what your choice for free ebook is. If we can find it, we will email it to you within 24 hours – if not we will send you a decent alternative within that same time frame.
Click here if you would like a Word document of this poll. Send it to your friends. Limit: one submission per person. Results will be tabulated continuously, below, throughout the year. Please be truthful as to what you really think. We think this may be fun, perhaps even interesting.
Yes or No:
1. Christopher Columbus discovered America. Certainly, it is highly unlikely that any Chinese or Vikings or anybody else arrived before 1492, and sure, there were already Indians here, but they were obviously savages compared to the European explorers.
2. It is a great and wonderful tradition that there are still Royal families throughout Europe, even though they may have been relegated mostly to being mere figureheads anymore.
3. George Washington and Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson and others we refer to as our Founding Fathers were great, wise and benevolent men who cared just as much about the common man as they did themselves and others of their own socio-economic class. Albeit not perfect, the democracy they formed is the greatest democracy the earth has ever known.
4. The Bible is the Holy Word of God.
5. The Pope is one of the world’s great, wise and benevolent beings.
6. The Dalai Lama is one of the world’s wise and benevolent men and it is a mark of his greatness that he has spoken before the world’s leaders at the United Nations many times.
7. Our veteran’s fought for our freedom.
8. At least our veterans of WWII fought for our freedom.
9. Truman’s dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima & Nagakaski was a righteous, necessary way to end WWII.
10. People who are in jail for publically denying the Holocaust, should be there – for one thing, they are nuts.
11. 9/11 was not an inside job.
12. Al Qaeda exists.
13. Secret agencies, such as the CIA & NSA, and free societies are mutually compatible; the former secures the latter.
14. NASA didn’t fake any Moon walks or landings.
15. The Earth is not hollow.
16. Astrology is not science; though there may be some grains of truth in it, it is basically superstition.
17. It is every Citizen’s solemn duty to vote for the candidates of their choice at election time.
18. It is pretty certain that Barack Obama was born in the U.S., most likely in Hawaii.
19. He (Barack Obama) is a man of the people, doing his capable, best job to insure security, prosperity, freedom and justice for all.
20. Lee Harvey Oswald killed John F. Kennedy, most likely alone.
21. Society will be a safer, happier place when guns are taken away from everyone who is not a member of the military or the police.
22. Illegal aliens, when discovered, should be deported or otherwise penalized in some just way- no one has the right to live wherever they want withour proper paperwork.
23. Income tax is necessary for good and fair government.
24. We need a good, uncorrupt government.
25. Without permit, licensing and registration requirements and enforced adherence to strict traffic laws and other government controls, we would be in chaos.
26. Fast drivers cause more accidents than slow drivers.
27. The War on Drugs is an honorable war, perhaps more in theory than in practice, but it is for our greater good.
28. Certainly, heroin should be illegal.
29. LSD should be illegal.
30. Marijuana should be illegal too.
31. On the other hand, properly prescribed psychiatric drugs can be the best remedy for many psychiatric problems.
32. The American Cancer Society is searching for a cure for cancer that we can have a healthier world.
33. In the meantime, chemotherapy can be an intelligent choice to make when faced with the worst.
34. Mercury amalgam teeth fillings are fine; my dentist and every other dentist I know, wouldn’t have recommended them if they weren’t.
35. If vaccines become mandatory, one should not doubt nor act on those doubts that it is not for our greater good. Same goes for the microchip.
36. Banks are in the business of issuing loans and their business is for profit, so obviously they have to charge a reasonable amount of interest and certainly they suffer loss when they are not paid back.
37. All of our life is our own creation, so it good to just focus on the positive.
38. Truth is, we live in a world of illusions. Nothing we can perceive or conceive can be pointed to with certainty & utter integrity and declared to be the truth. Opinions, moods, self-images, relationships, hopes & dreams are all like shifting sands. Everyone whoever said that they knew who they are was fooling themselves. Freedom lies in the fact that we can't and don't know who we are - we can only presume, until it becomes crystal clear that there is nothing objectifiable underneath any of the presumptions.
Thank you for participating!
