You were asked to decide – TMP link Bring Back the Private Duel? 42% said "no, do not bring back the private duel" 27% (TIE) said "yes, bring back the private duel" OR "this is ridiculous"

This is a really odd question. I went to the original link, and the person asking it thought duels were "fantastic". I cannot imagine why.

President Jackson was well known for duelling (pre-office). It is left as an exercise for the reader on the modern desirability.
