The phone rang a few minutes ago, and the caller ID showed the number 202-810-1454 with the name SURVEY2013POLL. Since I believe pollsters are entitled to my opinion on crucial matters, I picked up. It was one of those automated voice response things that hardcore right-wingers often use. A male voice identifying himself as Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council explained that he'd like me to participate in a 45-second survey, and asked if I was willing. I said yes. This is the ensuing 'dialogue' (paraphrased):
TONY: Do you believe America is on the wrong path?
ME: No.
TONY: Do you believe the Boy Scouts of America should be bullied into accepting homosexuals as scoutmasters?
ME: Yes.
TONY: Thank you. (Click)
I wonder how long this 'survey' would have lasted if I had answered YES to question one, and NO to question two, and how long it would have taken Tony to solicit a donation. I hate right-wing religious lunatics who pretend to be Christians.
