St Louis Post Dispatch Polls on St. Stanislaus, Cloning

Who is right in the St. Stanislaus dispute?

10%
The archbishop -- He's trying to enforce church rules

90%
The church -- It's trying to protect its land and heritage

Votes: 1,042
It certainly is not difficult to understand the reasons for the results in this opinion poll. Given the nature of the slanted reporting of this issue, one can not be surprised. I would like to think that the 10% who chose in favor of the Archbishop actually gathered facts from other sources, such as: the St. Louis Review.
-------------------------------------
On a remotely related question, we witness the results of an issue in which ethics and morality apparently are not considered for nearly 70% of respondents:
Do you favor criminalizing stem cell research that involves cloning?

31%
YES -- It creates, then destroys life

69%
NO -- It's a valuable research tool

Votes: 342
Polls are unscientific and for entertainment purposes only.
