This week, the great, unwashed masses get their turn at the soapbox. We sent the following questionnaire to an assortment of our regular readers, allowing them to state their opinions and preferences on a variety of matters of the day. Our crack team of Taiwanese math whizzes then tallied the results, breaking them down by percentage of votes cast and designating the winners for all the world to see. What can we say? The results may surprise you. Especially if you're the sort of person who tends to get surprised by results.
