Larry,
5 Points on this
1) A point of integrity : I think the description you give of who was
intended to take part in the survey is misleading (I base this on the link
you give).

2) A point of integrity : You describe the survey as "totally unscientific".
I am not sure what you mean by that, but I have to wonder why you have
treated us to a 750 word post based  on an unscientific online poll data,
whilst  you reject UN data as being specious?

3) A point of integrity : Do you agree that it is a little strange that
whilst the survey is "unscientific", opinion is quoted down to 1/10 of a
percent? I'm sure that the margin of reliability was far higher than that?

4) A general query : Why did the LP bother with this “unscientific” poll.
Are the issues not important enough to warrant a decent attempt? Perhaps
they were rushing to get on the 911 band-wagon? What do you think?

5) A general query : Given that the LP has had is views on race questioned
both here & on FreeRepublic.com in the past few days, do you agree that a
poll of the view of the party membership on that issue not be more
“interesting”? Perhaps it would help silence the  concerns on non-LP members?

(mostly “unscientific” text  removed)

I think it's tiresome that we already said no to these and they're back
again. Politicians will use any excuse to usurp.

If they have a democratic mandate and are mirroring the views of the people
is it usurping?

(...) It is if they're usurping the power instilled by _The People_ in a system to prevent _some people_ from doing wrong. Democracies unfettered by just controls are worse than good dictators. Chris (23 years ago, 19-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

A survey was held recently, I got the email about it and participated, but it was intended for LP members only, so I didn't mention it here. I found the results rather interesting. Totally unscientific as it was self selected whether to participate, (...) (23 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
