From the inbox:
... the current online debate at The Economist on the value of water. Currently, 60 percent of Economist readers oppose the proposition, “This house believes that water, as a scarce resource, should be priced according to its market value.” There are three days to vote and comment before a winner is chosen by the community on Friday, October 10th.
Here’s a link to the debate: http://www.economist.com/debate/index.cfm?action=hall&debate_id=13&sa_campaign=debateseries/debate13/spr/blog/tb2
1) 60% means there's got to be a surge of "median" voters before it's a tie.
2) I doubt there will be a "winner" in this debate. Who learned anything?
