Concerning Morris

My feeling is that I was wrong 
I was pretty sure Bush wouldn't get 50% of the vote. He ran 48% in the national polls the entire summer, with about 4-6% saying they were undecided. I didn't think so many undecideds would break to him, and why should I? If they were undecided after 4 years of a presidency like Bush's, I didn't see any reason to believe they would decide on him in the final week.
But I was wrong. So there you have it.

^ I admit I'm wrong anytime it's made very clear that I was wrong. Since most threads on this board are opinions, it's no wonder I don't have to admit I'm wrong very often.
And I don't understand why the hell this thread was even created. First of all, it was created 3 months after the fact. Second of all, it's presumptuous in that it assumes I never admit I'm wrong, which is not the case. I admit I'm wrong more than 95% of the people in this forum.

I still think it's weird that a thread was dedicated to my admittance of being wrong on a prediction. If we made a thread like this for everytime someone on this forum was wrong, it would be a majority of the threads on the forum.
The only thing any of this proved was that I couldn't predict the future. So I guess I'm not clairvoyant. Oh well.

From the thread title I thought we were going to discuss Morris, like this site does:
http://www.morrissociety.org/statement.html
"The many-sidedness of Morris and the variety of his activities bring together in the Society those who are interested in him as designer, craftsman, businessman, poet, socialist, or who admire his robust and generous personality, his creative energy and courage. Morris aimed for a state of affairs in which all might enjoy the potential richness of human life. His thought on how we might live, on creative work, leisure and machinery, on ecology and conservation, on the place of the arts in our lives and their relation to politics, as on much else, remains as challenging now as it was a century ago. He provides a focus for those who deplore the progressive dehumanization of the world in the twentieth-century and who believe, like him, that the trend is not inevitable.
"The Society, founded in 1955, provides information on topics of interest to its members and arranges lectures, visits, exhibitions, and other events. It encourages the reprinting of his works and the continued manufacture of his textile and wallpaper designs. It publishes a Journal twice a year, free to members, which carries articles across the field of Morris scholarship. It also publishes a quarterly Newsletter giving details of its programme, new publications and other matters of interest concerning Morris and his circle. Members are invited to contribute items both to the journal and the Newsletter."
