From our friends at the Globe and Mail, we get this little gem:
Purely in terms of efficiency, which system works best -- democracy or dictatorship?
Democracy 42%
1772 votes
Dictatorship 40%
1680 votes
About the same 17%
727 votes
The minute I saw this poll, I thought want a stupid question, who would think a dictatorship is more efficient than democracy? Well, by the close results, I guess lots of people do.
So, 40% of people would prefer a dictatorship? Or do the sheep just want to be told what to do, and when to do it, makes it easier not to have to make decisions. Or do people think a dictatorship makes all people more equal? Is that not why we hear the NDP bleating about CEO's getting paid more than average union workers? Yet they themselves get paid more than the average union workers, and I don't see any of them willing to get the same salary as those workers.
Efficiency is a relative term, it means different things to different people. So I ask you, what is the intent of this poll?

We certainly know what the leftards voted for...
It is a stupid poll, obviously if one person is making all the decisions it is efficient than a debate among 310 representatives.
But nuclear war is more 'efficient' than conventional war and jumping off a building is more efficient in getting to the ground floor than taking the stairs...
Hunter, As you said - great minds think alike.
Maybe what this poll tells us is that 57+% of G&M readers are completely clueless.
Yup, wait until they are told to line up to get their one pair of shoes. See how they change their tune then.
