Survey Questioner: Are you happy with the direction China is taking?
China Respondent: No, I feel like two dollars a day wages is much too little.
SQ: Yes, but are you happy with the direction China is taking?
CR: No, our housing is small and crowded.
SQ: Yes, we know, but are you happy with the direction China is taking?
CR: No.
SQ: (angry now) This is the last time you will be asked, are you happy with the direction China is taking?
CR: Well, yes, of course.
SQ: Thank you for your honest answer, next.
I have to say the above survey is one of the most absurd I have seen recently, where for instance are the Scandinavian nations? Human nature being what it is the question may elicit negative comments as the poor are poor, the rich never satisfied, and those somewhere in a middle place wanting more. But then don't many of these same people vote in the fools who run the nation? Odd useless survey imo.
