interesting poll results... only one person so far has voted that they would not cede a point they have felt they've lost. hmm...
anyway, i agree with ustwo in that on a given issue there is almost always a "right" opinion and a "wrong" opinion. but, it's important to remember that right and wrong in a political sense often shifts relative to what the desired outcome is. what is called "right" is often used to describe what is most effective. what is most effective changes dynamically when end-goals aren't similar.
