How is it biased? This is the issue we are talking about.

  It's biased if you force the answer on one side vs another.

    If you don't mention that you have to trust all possible future governments, public servants and have absolute faith in their perfect competence your poll is shockingly biased because that is the actual thing we're holding opinions on. And nobody I know does have that level of trust and I'll lay dollars to donuts you don't either.

  - "Do you support creating a state-sanctioned group that can detain or even kill you and your family at their discretion before you've been tried by a jury of your peers?" - "Do you support local police?"

    do you support the local police? Yes. Do you support the local police having tactical nuclear weapons? Yeah it's about that simple. Maybe you need to explain what a nuclear weapon is to someone who hasn't heard of them - and that's about where we're at. You can support the local police all you like and most people do and they still don't want total surveillance. This is not a how to massage "opinion polls" discussion like it's news to everyone as it was when we were second year of highschool or whenever that was. Lay out the pros of total surveillance, lay out the consequences. Do it as impartially and arbitrarily as you like and you'll get a wonderful unity of opinion about it.
