* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Sometimes, the headline for a choice on an issue will contract the statistical effects of the choice. For example, choosing to promote eco-tourism results in "Hordes of Tourists are Ruining the Environment..." but the stats say that environmental beauty has ''increased.''
