Poll #1 Results

Thank you to everyone who voted in the first poll. The results are in. Below I will interpret the results and tell you what's right or wrong with your thinking.

What do you think?
I think beer should be served in fast food restaurants. - 42% of the vote
Pro: Beer is delicious in all circumstances and particularly with items such as burgers, tacos, and fried chicken items that are prominent in fast food restaurants.
Con: If you are eating fast food, you are probably driving or about to drive. Drinking and driving just doesn't mix, folks.

I think the world would be better if there were no telephones. - 28% of the vote
Pro: No one likes to hear other people's telephone conversations on the bus or in the airport or in any place where people talk too loud, as it seems that people have gotten more and more boring these days. It's easy to get stuck talking to people you'd rather not talk to. There are annoying cell phone commercials.
Con: If there were no phones, and written communication came back into dominance, I'd have to deal with poor spellers, and poor spellers annoy me.

I think dinosaurs are awesome. - 42% of the vote
Pro: They do look pretty cool.
Con: They could stomp on you and eat you. Possibly slimy.

I think dinosaurs got what they deserved. - 14% of the vote
Pro: If they were still alive, they could stomp on you and eat you.
Con: No one deserves mass extinction.

Libraries for all! - 28% of the vote
Pro: Libraries foster a passion for the world.
Con: None.

Be sure to vote in the next poll!

I must admit that I just couldn't choose, and voted for every single option. You have it set so that you can choose multiple. But still, who were the other voters? And why don't they comment?!

One thing that I'm unsure about with these polls...it says how many total votes there were at the bottom, but then the votes for each individual option don't add up to that number. So does it only count you once as a voter at the bottom, while allowing you to pick multiple, or is the element flawed as a whole?
