Polling on "values". A muddled and sometimes scary set of results. I
liked this one:

> Nurses 82
> Druggists, pharmacists 67

> High school teachers 64

Union leaders are low. But who's lower? Businessmen and stockbrokers...
but even they come above congresscritters ;-). Of course the latter
doesn't mean that one should go out and vote for change, but rather
quite the opposite: there's no point in voting!
