People are dumb, so that's why opinion polls are next to useless. Your average dumb person against the war's opinion is no more or less valid than your average dumb person for the war's opinion. The polls just tell what the dumb people are thinking - i.e. not much.

The problem is, it's what I call the Memento problem - like in the movie, it would be nice to figure out what's going on, and who's right and who's wrong, but we don't get enough information to distinguish correctly, so we go ahead on misinformation and deceit fed to us by people who have ulterior agendas - whether they're government or anti-government.

Nothing spooky in 'ulterior agenda' either - just leaders who're more interested in personal power gain than any objective assessment of the situation.

So because of that, I just vote for my local Greens party, but don't expect me to be out on the streets protesting Australia taking part in the war, and don't expect me to be at the ticker-tape parade when they come back. Only if things got a lot worse either way, when it becomes more clear whichever side of the issue, will people be moved to action.

they made me do it
