Subject: RE: BS: Americans want public executions
Well, back to one of my per peeves: polls.

Not to be drifting too much here but just to show what I mean about polling is an article in todays newspaper on "Consumer Confidence". According to the article the Consumer Confidence "Index" has dropped "more than nine points to 87.3 following a rise in January to a revised reading of 96.4."

Well, if you don't take the time to delve deep into the article you might come away with an impression that 87.3% of people are confident in the economy. But upon further reading that 87.3 consumer confidence *index* figure represents only a mere 19.3% of the people who were condident in the econmomy??? Hmmmmm???......

Enough said about pols fir now...

Larry,

I'm with you. Here the United Staes wants to be thought of as this moral country. Meanwhile, its people are becoming more and more violent by the day. If it ain't folks in other countries that they are killing and maiming its their neighbors... Abnd a lot of the killing and maiming is being conducted by folks who think of themselves as Christains??? Hmmmmm???...
