 Can you do a better job?
You vs. Ebadi

I saw a recent
opinion poll in iranian.com in which
64.57% said they were not pleased with Shirin Ebadi's fight for human
rights in Iran.
I thought this poll revealed much about the respondents so I
wanted to ask them more questions. This is a follow up on that
survey which I conducted myself asking more questions from the
same people. It is perfectly scientific. There is no margin of
error.
1- How do you think democracy will eventually come to Iran?
a)
I will get involved and make it happen (27.13%)
b) If a genuine
movement gathers momentum, I'll join it (8.30%)
c) I am
waiting for the perfect leader to come along and give us Government
of the People (64.57%)
2- When shopping for pearls (morvarid), what do you look for?
a)
Round (ghaltoon) (27.13%)
b) Cheap (arzoon) (8.30%)
c) Round & cheap
(ham ghaltoon, ham arzoon) (64.57%)
3- What is your view of agriculture?
a) I reap, others plant
(deegaran kaashtand o' maa khordeem) (64.57%)
b) I plant,
others reap (maa bekaareem o' deegaran bokhorand) (27.13%)
c)
I get my food-stuff from the corner grocer (8.30%)
 4- If someone gave you a horse as a gift, how will you respond?
a) I'll say, "Thank you, I think I can use this when
I plant" (27.13%)
b) I count the teeth immediately (64.57%)
c) I have no use for a horse (8.30%)
5- In a wrestling situation:
a) I get in the pit and go for the
limb (meeram too goad o' lengesh mikonam) (27.13%)
b) I
sit around the pit and urge others to go for the limb (labe' goad
meeshinam meegam lengesh kon) (64.57%)
c) I don't know (8.30%)
I would like to see a folow up poll in iranian.com:
