Just got a letter and a password for the Stanford University Public Opinion Study which, upon Googling, appeared to be legit. The online survey took about ten minutes and was about political orientation, views on immigration, gun control, welfare programs, big business etc., and donations to campaigns.

Anyone else taken it?

Looks like maybe they’re only interested in _your_ opinion. 😉

Did you get this via snail mail? You took the time to google; I just trash anything like this in my mailbox.

Yes, snail mail. I don’t mind surveys and am glad to pontificate when given the chance!
