A very interesting (instant) survey

In the middle of our Systems Development lecture today, the instructor trying to explain the meaning of "Equivocality", as opposed to uncertainty (where addressing uncertainty would involve a simple question/answer approach and equivocality would require a more interactive process of discussion/debate) asked "Raise your hands those who think Bush and Blair were right in attacking Iraq."

Not a single hand in a class with a total strength of 147 and 41 nationalities went up.

To ensure we weren't sleeping he asked "How many think they were wrong?"

Hands up everywhere.

Then he asked how many "don't care"?

Again no hands.

If only the world were a big lecture theatre.
