I think what Jack is getting at is reality vs. perception.

I heard that it as around 4-6%, the exact numbers aren't known yet. However, watching the news, it looks like Houston was wiped out at 100%.

Exactly chery thank you for getting it. As you know in marketing, sales, and politics peoples perceptions are reality to them, and may need to be overcome. I was just trying to gauge how skewed peoples perceptions may be....

Nice try So your end goal is to gage perception vs. statistics? I hate to break it to you mate but that's still STUPID You're just wing it as it goes, but reality is that there is no value in this poll. Just delete it please, or ask the mods to do so.

Hey we are wiped 100% by North Korea, so what?
If it is a stupid question,(I don't think it is) it isn't the first stupid question I have ever asked, and I doubt it will be the last, so get used to it..

The difference between perception and reality is always relevant in regards to a cities image and I think I articulated that very well from the get go, so I am not just winging it.

I'm not going to speak to your off the wall reference to the situation with North Korea its just too strange..

BTW I thought you were going to ignore the poll ! Feel free to do so now...
