Children are what they are programmed to be. And the best way to program, is to convince people of what is virtuous.

Exactly. When I was in college it was all about South Africa and apartheid. Now it's Palestinians.

Vietnam, Woodstock, Haight-Ashbury

Turn on, tune in, drop out

And yet, from the same poll:

That means there are 18 year olds out there thinking “Hamas was justified in doing this but I side with Israel in the conflict”.

Sometimes, when maximizing the virtuous social acceptability of one's words, one must choose logically contradictory words. This is where being dumb can help.

Over the years, I've come to the conclusion more and more that opinion poll results are frequently a load of bollocks.

Not just the wording, but the order in which the questions are asked. It's quite easy to lead somebody down the garden path to say something they don't really believe.

It's interesting, at least to me, how the evenly divided the 18-25 year-old group is in what @jon-nyc posted and in other questions.

When I start a cult for "turning the world upside down", one of our cult things will be to swap Ms and Ws. We'll also flip Is, but that'll be a secret.
