I like polygraphers and I think they are really "cute" when they get angry (e.g. Mr. Coffey).

That's nice, but I don't.
I respect polygraphy 1000x less than I and most people respect child molestation.
As far as the "doing a job that almost no one else would take" idea - the bottom line observable fact is: more people choose to be police officers, prison guards (and, throw in other non-civilian jobs, too, like the military) than, say, get openly involved in animal rights work, for which there is no pay.
Just now I wrote and deleted an entire followup to this idea, out of respect to antipolygraphy.org, because it would get too far off topic.
Point is: polygraphy is just another unfair government law, that, like ALL human laws, is created and defended by someone. Those who create and defend unfair laws deserve to fight and die for their idiotic stupid beliefs, NOT those who defend fair laws.
(Yes - I have a lot more explaining to do about "everyone has a different opinion about what's fair" thing, which, again, cannot be done on this forum, again, because 1) it would go way off topic, and, 2) it requires formal logic to explain, which cannot be presented easily - or at all - in text format.)
And, to all the "you can respectfully disagree" people i.e. "you can respect a person even though you have a different political opinion than them" people - and I know you are out there: if you dare say that - and, of course, you say that ONLY about those with "mainstream" views and especially about those in the military (i.e. "respect the military personnel even if you disagree with their actions")
- then you had absolutely better say it about EVERYONE - without a single exception. That means it is absolutely irrelevant to respecting a person whether they are a "terrorist" or a rapist or a criminal or a child molestor or any of these labels the gov't puts on people, because it is a difference of political opinion whether "terrorism" or rape or child molestation or polygraphy or pornography or abortion or guns or marijuana or blowing up a prison to free the prisoners inside, etc. should be legal or illegal.
I am not saying I am one of these "respect everyone regardless of their political opinion" people, since "respect" is a meaningless word. But, for those of you who are like that, I am shoving the consequences of your brainless words back down your throats as hard and often as possible.
