    I have been getting a lot of phone call surveys over the last couple of months. Not sure if they are "poll's" as I just say I do not have time to take their survey and hang up. My thoughts and feelings are nobody's business but my own!

    Unless I post them here![:D]

    Took a class in College "Statistical analysis" Ended up dropping this class.
    See I was taking it cause it was a required Upper level math class for those going for a BA in Math. Which I was thinking of doing.


    I like math cause there is a answer for everything and you can prove it. Not with "Statistical analysis" Its all in how you manipulate the Numbers. No two people will do it the same and there is not a single answer that fits all.

    This one class changed how I thought of math. Now I really no longer like it.

    I had one call me once about 2 years ago on Gun Control,,I was not giving the answers they wanted to hear and about 1/2 way through the poll they hung up on me,,I figure if they did not complete the poll they would not have to record my answers

    That is it right there. The ask the Questions in places that will get the answers they want. You really have to watch the Questions cause they will ask in a way that they get the Answer they want.

    I got a polling phone call last night...pretty long; lots of questions as to who I was favoring, what I thought about Trump's performance, should Kavanaugh be confirmed, etc. I told the pollster, after she thanked me for my time, "As you might guess, I am one of those old white guys."...she just chuckled.[:D]

    She was pretty interested what radio stations and cable networks I listened to or watched. and what my opinion was about them.

    If you want a Poll that supports Gun ownership among Americans Poll Gun Broker or go to a range LOL

    You want a Poll that predicts Hillary wins or a blue wave go to Colleges
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    I told her I would vote for him as head dog catcher
    the gal ( not being raciest but sounded like a minority ) started laughing

    The best policy in life is honesty; except when pollsters call then you should lie like a rug.

    I been getting telephone political polls about four to five times a week for the past three months. I have no idea how or why I've been picked for this. I was never poled before I moved to Nevada. You can tell by the questions being asked what side is paying for the poll.
