Your friends and work colleges all do not care - Fair enough
Most (not all) people I know friends from various walks of life, people I know in the area I live an affulent area full of successful educated people and one of the safest Lib blue ribbon seats in the country) work collegues professionals in finance, business and law - have the view that enough is enough and either hicks should be put in front of a fair and open trial or released.
looks like we mix with different groups
as for the "thousands of people you see sitting in gridlock on the freeway every day" I assume you get out of your car when stuck in these gridlocks and walk up and down asking them what their views are on certain topics.
Maybe howard and his cronnies should be paying you for this information you gain instead of doing what they are doing right now - reacting to polls.
Your information could save howard from an injury, doing backflips can not be good for a man of his age.
