DO NOT SUBMIT MULTIPLE SURVEYS! This destroys months and in some cases, years worth of work! It is a criminal offense!

I've received some complaints that this survey is overly polarized towards one side or the other - let me say that this is done for a specific reason. It goes without saying that most people will always choose "in-between" if they have that as a choice - but it proves nothing. When you are confronted with a question covering two opposed concepts, in lieu of the ideal answer (which is utterly impossible to list for everyone), choose the BEST choice and not whine about your ideal thoughts not being summed up in one of the multiple choice answers. Hey, it's sorta like real life don't ya think?
Thanks - Ed.
