Poll question: Do you know what is best for everyone else?
Abortion, steroids, books to read, foods to stay away from, religious practices, the war on drugs, colors to avoid wearing after labor day, where not to shop, and so on...

You really should make sure you're posting in the right place on a message board

8. I don't want the responsibility for having told someone else what's best for him or her
Regardless of whether or not I was right!

13. I do know - here you go free of charge
More Ice Cream - regardless of any weight or lactose intollerance problems

More sex - cause you can never have too much

Liberal Politics and Policies - just cause baby

More Indenturedebtor - cause he bad

Did I mention sex and ice cream?

Or if you prefer... how about some ice cream and sex? Or even icecreamsex. But not the ben and jerries flavor... that was a disaster. You know what I mean ;)

15. You may be on to something...
Just the other day my lover and I had sex and then we both went out for some ice-cream. A fantastic day.

I hope that you start a poll based on your idea.

16. National Support for the Arts
particularly our Folk & Traditional Roots music & not only in Rootsy areas.
People on the west coast should hear Appalachian music, people in New England
ought to hear Louisiana Cajun music and folks in Alaska should hear San Antonio nortena music, and we all should hear blues, jazz, old timey, and
bluegrass. Maybe some old time vaudeville too.

18. Appalachian music . . .
Ok, there's no music in this clip but this guy did go to Appalachian State.

And he was a musician until he decided he could make more money as a writer

20. Look, your poll was all wrong
You should have asked, "Are your suggestions the best advice for other people"?

Sheesh.

Next time, ask just ask before you post, OK?

21. Choices and education. That's what's best.
The choice to do with your body what is best for you and the education to know the pros and cons. The choice of medical professionals and the education on their background. The choice of affordable food choices and the education on the positives and negatives involved in your choices. The choice of religious affiliation and the knowledge of what it involves. The choice to use drugs, pharmaceutical or "street" and the education of what can happen if you do. The choice of places to shop and the education of the impact of your choices.

24. I don't think so, but someone did think so, somewhere, at some point
That's what organization is all about.
