I've placed a poll to the right. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to accept votes unless you're signed in to Blogger or something, which will depress turnout considerably. The one negative [actually positive now] vote already cast is my own.
UPDATE: Actually, the thing seems to be completely screwy. I'm not sure if it will correctly count votes at all. But I'll leave it there for now, as a cautionary tale about the limits of democracy.
UPDATE2: It might be working now.
UPDATE 11/5/08: The poll is now closed. Results:
Keep it going. It's a much-needed intellectual compass in these turbulent times: 62%.
Shut it down. It's a pathetic puerile profusion of pointless pixelated procrastination: 0%.
Change it completely. Take the opposite of your positions because you're wrong about everything: 12%.
Whatever, dude: 25%.
Unfortunately, the poll didn't work consistently, such that a significant segment of the electorate may have been disenfranchised. The recorded vote total was 8 million, minus 6 orders of magnitude.
