All surveys have dozens of weaknesses. Telephone surveys require one to have a telephone and not hang up. Along with that, any survey requires one to participate which leads to the survey of the personalities that would engage. Then there are those that lie, just to fuck with the pollster or perhaps afraid that 'big brother' may follow up on certain responses. How would one survey those that agree with communism or participate in KKK activities.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
-- The Rev Lovejoy
