HAIL!

Thursday, March 23rd, 2006
You scored as Augustus. You are Augustus! First emperor of the Romans and one of the greatest statesmen in the ancient world. You brilliantly eased the old Republic into the Principate and set the path for an empire that would last for centuries and form the underpinnings for all western civilization. Hail Caesar!

65% my bum!

From INQ7.net: “The proportion who chose the resignation option is larger among those who were interviewed after the declaration of a state of emergency (61 percent) than among those who were interviewed prior to 24 February 2006 (53 percent),” said Pulse Asia. Only about a quarter of the 1,200 interviews were made after Proclamation No. 1017 was issued on Feb. 24.

The survey had a margin of error of 3 percentage points either way at the 95 percent confidence level.

65% of the INTERVIEWEES! That’s 1,200 PEOPLE! That’s a flake of dandruff in the body of an 87 million people population of this country! I’d even doubt that some of that 1,200 came from other provinces beyond Luzon.

From Pulse Asia’s website:

Pulse Asia, Inc., an enterprise launched by professional academics with acknowledged expertise in their respective fields of study, is dedicated to monitoring salient socio-economic, political and cultural issues in the minds of the Filipino public. This mission is anchored on the belief that a periodic measurement of the public pulse is a key ingredient for creating a robust democracy.

Isn’t it interesting that a group is solely dedicated to taking “pulses” from our country? Who owns the damn company? Who runs it? They just shove report up and people buy them at wholesale discounts?

PEOPLE, WAKE THE FUCK UP!

The media’s fucking with you. There’s such a thing as “reality”, but we all rely on “perspectives” or “points of views”. Reality to us, henceforth, is subjective. But hey, if you control the way people perceive reality, you influence the true outcome of reality. Interesting, huh?

Oh, oh, notice that Pulse Asia’s reports are only reported at the Inquirer mostly? :)
