Your sample is probably seriously biased, though. My friends and family run about 98% antiwar, but several different polls seem to indicate over half the American people support it. There's no paradox there; my family and friends aren't a representative sample of the American people. This is like that famous quote about "Nixon can't have won--nobody I know voted for him" by some New York Times columnist. (That's from memory, so I'm probably missing some essential facts...but then, the NYT does that occasionally, too.)
