Hee. :) I don't mind walking much, but then again, I don't drive... so I 
_have_ to not mind. ^_^ *g*

Yeah. They do that when they want people to sign off a certain way so 
they can make up statistics. It's similar with how stuff is worded... I 
recall a recent survey taken by the local government here which worded 
stuff in such a way that if the majority was "yes" for a topic, they'd 
go with it, but if it were no, they /consider/ not going with it (which 
essentially amounted to the same thing in their case).
