This poll will help select some themes to be slated for upcoming Poetry Fishbowl sessions.  Please READ THE INSTRUCTIONS before you vote.

The question is for general topics and it has check boxes instead of radio buttons.  Anyone may check ONE box.  If you have given me a prompt during 2011, you may check TWO boxes.  If you have donated to the Poetry Fishbowl project during 2011, you may check THREE boxes.  (If you want three votes but haven't donated yet this year, there is a permanent PayPal button on my profile page.)  This poll will stay open at least until Wednesday evening.

Sorry :(.. I need to read directions better and realize that they weren't radio buttons.

I voted for 3 different categories and wasn't eligible to :(. You can beat me with a wet noodle if you like :).

You can edit your votes using the LJ function that [livejournal.com profile] ellenmillion pointed to in her comment -- or if you want to support the project, drop a buck or two in the tip jar and then you're eligible for the three votes.

I made the choices I did here because I haven't seen as much material from you on them; but I might just make a note to prompt you with a few variations on the others when these come up.

After all, it seems that lots of actual science is catching humans in their own lies and deliberate ignorance regarding how "un-natural" and "not our fault" some things are.

Okay...

That's cool.

Sure, go for it.

True. There's always a dynamic relationship between nature and nurture. However, sometimes people diddle the data to present a "scientific argument" for things that are just plain hogwash. *scribbles down "lies my science teacher told me" as possible future theme*

General 'lies my teacher told me' might be apt - it certainly applies to history and other fields too. (Even art!)

There's actually a book: Lies My History Teacher Told Me.

I picked arts & crafts thinking "hmm...that includes origami, right?" ^.^

Yes, origami and kirigami both. Good catch!

The poll is a cool idea. Three guesses what my first choice was. XD

Thank you!
