The 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll

As Americans prepare to celebrate the Fourth of July and the many freedoms that we enjoy in our country, the 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll is ready to begin the second half of Anno Domini 2010 with some thought provoking questions about the state of our nation. We start with some simple questions with some not so simple answers. The results please:

• Who do you believe is the most dangerous person in the world today?

As the ninth anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Osama bin Laden still strikes the most fear in 41 percent of American hearts. North Korea's Kim Jong Il, 20 percent, and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, 17 percent, who despite sanctions are both thought by some to possess itchy trigger fingers were next. Venezuelan strong man Hugo Chavez, flush with petro dollar bravado, brings up the rear with seven percent.

Why isn't Andy Rooney one of the choices? Maybe he's just the most grouchy man on earth. Or why isn't Richard Dawkins on the list? Maybe he's just the most superstitious man on earth, who can say for sure?

[richardaberdeen]

A better question would be, why is a president whose agenda is somewhere to the far right of Eisenhower called a "socialist"?

[richardaberdeen]

Why cares, anybody who can compete at his level after suffering from cancer deserves a break, wouldn't you say?

[richardaberdeen]

I already own works of art. At least, I consider my own creations works of art, even if Picaso may likely have had a different opinion.

[richardaberdeen]

A better question that would likely receive an overwhelmingly favorable response is, how do you feel about putting the head honchos at BP in federal prison and throwing away the key.

[richardaberdeen]

I would rather participate in the reality of life. At least, sometimes I prefer reality, depending on who in a miniskirt happens to be walking down the street.

Why isn't Russian on the food choice list? I thought the cold war was over.

I'm shocked. When did my fellow Americans become this apathetic! I thought Americans have always had that can do attitude. According to your survey question regarding buying gas from BP, after this latest disaster I can't believe 70% don't really care as long as they have gas for their autombiles. I expected there to be such an outpouring of outrage as to this disaster (especially with the photoshopped control panel news item)that maybe we would start DEMANDING alternative fuel sources. I don't get it!

WHY DOES 60 MINUTES ADVERTIZE THEIR SHOW AS "NEW" AND THEN SHOW A RE-RUN?

[agent980]

I think the NRA is the most dangerous organization in the world.
