All of you who criticized Bloomberg over the Soda ban ... consider this

105. Don't misjudge the ratio

Just because some are more vocal, others might not wish to expend capital on this issue
Others might not want to involve themselves in this very thread

Others might be on other threads

And DU has thousands of members.
Most members do not read every single post, as its impossible to do so on such a tremendous board.

So, the ratio MIGHT be accurate for this thread or some others, but that is not necessarily a correct Nate Silver like poll.(for lack of a better poll taker these days).

(and if one takes Mike's name out of it (as he is hated by any of the gunslingers, so anytime his name is mentioned, some gunslingers come running to rail against him personally),
I would suggest in a correctly worded question, (and not with loaded words), the ratio
would reverse to 75% against 48 ounce glasses.



BTW, no one thought a pedestrian mall from 42 to 47th street on Broadway in midtown manhatan would ever happen and be accepted by both drivers and NYers.
And everyone now loves it.
Same with bike lanes

So wellness has been a longtime goal of Mike's. Nothing new. And nothing evil.
NO ulterior motives except for wellness (and guns are a wellness issue also).
