Chris's poll & questioneere

I know I'm asking a lot from you folks, but I designed a bit of a poll/questionere for all of 'ya. Reading everyone's polls and responses has gotten me thinking about everyone, what they do, who they are, and what they stand for. (ok so maybe I'm stuck at home on my first day of layoff and bored) It's a bit long, 33 questions in all, but I just wanted some insight on everyone that may respond. I'll repeat this on another post with all of my answers, just for comparison. Thanks to anyone that responds!
