I saw a call-in poll on Fox News this morning. The question was basically, "Is Jessica Lynch a hero, a victim, or both?"
My first reaction was "How should I know?" I don't know anything about her - in fact, most people don't know anything about her, except for what we see on the news. What right do we have to pass judgement on someone we don't even know?
Then it struck me that this poll was being administered by a news station - the source of all of our information about her. This isn't really a poll, then, as much as it is a quiz. Apparently, Fox News wants to make sure you're paying attention in class.

No hidden agenda here. This is about FlyingSheep.com. Oh sure, some thoughts may seem to have nothing to do with Flying Sheep (the more mathematical thoughts in particular come to mind), but this will be an outward expression of the thoughts of the same entity that runs FlyingSheep.com.
