Eight Hundred For Freedom

I was using my friend's AOL account when I saw a poll about the cost of war. Being curious and obviously bored at a late hour, I felt compelled to answer the questions. For both of these questions, I imagined common sense would run away with the victory; in other words, people would care about the cost of war. After all, it's the economy, stupid.

Nonetheless, as the following information shows, I was completely wrong about our fellow AOL users, as I was in the minority on both questions. And you wonder why Time Warner is taking a $100 billion loss? You are a reflection of your customers.
