What do you think about this CNN vote?

Question

CNN has a poll up on its homepage asking "Which issue facing the U.S. do you think is more important?
-Terrorism
-Gas Prices
And surprisingly the poll is nearly a tie. 38000 so far chose terrorism while 37000 chose gas prices!!! Unbelievable. Do Americans really think terrorism is just fading away or is it just that they truely think gas prices are more important to them? I dont understand. I would think the most important and vital response would have been terrorism. Gas prices are out of control right now but it hasnt stopped people from going out and getting an SUV. So whats the deal. Anyone who chose gas prices needs to get thier priorities straight. Terrorism is a threat to our lives and other peoples lives. Innocent people. Gas prices are not especially if you are not changing your personal habits to help yourself. If you havent heard a terror plot was just foiled in Britain. What happens if the next one isnt foiled because some dont think its important?

Sure they affect our daily lives, but that isnt stopping people from going more for style than trying to do more themselves to use less gas. If it is so important to them then there are things they can do to help. All these people going out and getting gas guzzlers like a suburban or sports car

Answer 1

when things are not being blown up around them, people vote with their pocket book!

Answer 2

Gas prices affect our everyday lives, many people can barely afford it, terrorism doesn't affect our daily lives. So you tell me, what is more important, something that affected one day in one isolated area of the entire country in American history, or something that affects your personal life every single day of every single week in your own home?

*EDIT* RESPONSE TO ASKERS EDIT
All I can say is I'm not one of those people. I don't own a gas guzzler. I think that mind set is from the past. SUV sales have actually been going down because of the high gas prices, and hybrids are selling out.

Answer 3

well its important to vote coz in most cases people who vote on such issues are the common man, and from the results everyone can see how people are affected, by what's being voted in for....
as for your answer to my question ,you were supposed to answer to to talk about some answers i replied...... and for your information too,...some white men too find those flat as..ses ugly. and thats why you will see the most handsome white men will choose only those white girls with a figure eight body,
im not saying that black women as.ses are the best but if your have a TOO FLAT as..s like a wall then it doesnt look good, and if you have a TOO BIG as..s then it doesnt look good too. it has to be moderate,.
And for your information some of the questions people ask here doeant mean its their life why would one display her personal life on a public forum like this?? i in most cases ask questions in general....not that these or such things happen to me,.
