well, i'm sure everyone is somewhere in the middle. maybe my problem is the definition of the categories.

on the one hand, i try to live as care-free as possible. i feel that sex is important and i let my imagination run pretty rampant. and i've done more than my share of drinking and partying. but on the other hand, i am also pretty concerned when it comes to political issues. i follow world events and study world history and philosophies as often as i can. balance. it's all about balance.

Based on your description of the choices, I would have to go with eyes open. I have my own ideas on what is right and wrong and the way things should be.

An example would be people believing blindly in what the media says. When someone gives evidence (of when the media is lying) to people like that who're closed-minded they will reject the evidence to keep their convenient, closed world-view safe.

An ignorant (and open minded) person would see the evidence (if it was good enough to draw a conclusion from) and accept the new facts.

I tend to be "Eyes Open" most of the time despite what you may think.  Unfortunately, the rest of my immeadiate family, my sister are the opposite side of the field, to the point where I reguarly get lectures on how I need to straighten up and be more christian in my dealings and behaviors.

Example: I've been reading Asimov recently, and this past weekend I asked my parents what they thought about the eventual development of Asimovian Positronic Robots.  I made the case for them and they freaked out!  They started ranting about how they would take away men's jobs and put people into a bad situation financially.  I tried to explain that APRs would remove much of the menialness that has kept Humanity from reaching their full potential, allowing all of humanity to pursue intellectual endevours, but they would have none of it!  I finally gave up and retreated back into my book(we were all in a car on the way back from my grandmother's home near Petoskey, MI) and they started in with the same old lecture.  Needless to say they didn't get it.

... hu, that explains a few things...

anyway, who here thinks this is just an utterly stupid poll, it's like are you a smart person, or an utterly braindead vegetable moron idiot that needs to be reminded to breath.

Methinks it's worth worrying about when some people are volunteering themselves as these so-called "utterly braindead vegetable moron idiots", so the poll has some value.

Hey guys, how's it goin'? I kinda missed some stuff 'cause I passed out when I forgot to breathe. Well, I think I'm gonna go masturbate to FOX.
