Remind me not to hire you to design my next public opinion poll.;)
If I were doing it, I'd ask the following:
"Bill Gates has made more contributions to computing than any other living American. Microsoft has created more entire industries and jobs directly and indirectly than any other company in living memory. Without them, there would not even be a software industry.
"AT&T is an evil monopolist, the company that jacks your phone bill up every month. And now they want to be your cable company, too.
"Which company do you admire the most?
"A. Microsoft
"B. AT&T"
Then there's the one about the "free market":
"Bill Gates has always designed his software with the best interest of the consumer in mind. He wants software to be better, faster and free. The free market gives him the right to do that. But now, some evil, incompetent government bureaucrats want to take that right away from him, and have government bureaucrats design software instead so it will be more expensive, crappier and slower than ever. Who do you think is better qualified to design software?
"A. Bill Gates and the free market, which give you great sofware for free, or
"B. The incompetent, evil government bureaucrats, who don't want you to get any free software."
You get the picture. |
