I'd say the answer is HELL YES!. Given the amount of people that can't keep A/V running on their PCS. Won't learn to not click on links in emails, won't learn to not go to certain websites and won't learn to not D/L crap. I'd say many Americans could be sold any number of bridges.

Of course the flip side to that is if the person doing the survey comes across as some sanctimonious shit engaged in push-polling a certain position, people might say anything to try and piss off the person making the survey, even if they're working for minimum wage in some boiler room operation.

If I knew for a fact the some Executive Asshole from VPC or MAIG was calling me, I might tell them the most outrageous thing I could think of.
