No, that's not my point, Laz. My point was to show how some symbols (read "words" and "concepts") mean different things to different people. In order for your test to be valid, you must use symbols that are equally shared by both the common working man and the Dick Cheneys of the world.
But that is a very, very hard thing to do ... which is why, for instance, more and more colleges are dropping SAT scores in favor of other, more meaningful indicators of future life success. But that's a topic for a different day.
In any event, No. 2 could be "correctly" answered true or false in your little test. Or to put it another way, there is no "correct" answer for that question.
Which underscores the folly of a poll test and those who believe, as you and Kenny do, that some people in this great country of ours should be excluded from exercising their God-given right to be a participant in democracy.
If you don't believe in universal suffrage, then you are a nothing more than an exclusionary elitist. |
