dear Bhairitu, here's my confession: all this recent talk about West Wing had me remembering various bits of various episodes. When I read Doc's comments, I remembered an episode when the president's people took a discrete poll to find out how the nation would feel about a certain issue. I thought Doc asked some good questions and that was the first response that came to my mind, that they took a poll. I think Xeno is right, I do tend to be more intuitive than linear in my thinking. But mainly I tend to make connections. Anyway, thanks for your intelligent comments and article.

All I was doing was providing a link to Share on a poll of Americans taken about Syrian interventionfor here information. Not sure why you bother to say it is a non sequitur.
