Predictions

After reading Common 2 Cents article on polls, I couldn't agree more. Predicting the outcome of anything doesn't do anyone any good. It only send false messages to the public and opinions can often be swayed.
In my article about gas prices rising i talked about the "futures market". The entire reason that prices have risen is because people are making false predictions. and what is the outcome? Higher gas prices and a hole in most peoples pocket. If people would stop trying to predict the future things like this wouldn't happen.
I don't support the polls either. The tallying should take place after the votes are in. Predicting the outcome is only rising peoples hopes and causing problems.
