There's a local politically- oriented talk show on Monday nights in Boston, which always has a call in 95-cent question. Last week's was: Should the speed limit be raised to 65 MPH? Guess what the outcome was: 91% YES. Mass. is basically a police state on the roads now. On the other channel, Monday night football promotes another 95-cent question: vote for your favorite kickoff return, etc. No reason to be upset, these are as unscientific [non-=statistical] as a poll can get!!
