A Pew research study has issued a statistical breakdown of America. Some interesting tidbits:
- 46% of people want to ban books that have "dangerous ideas" from public libraries. And that's at an all time low!
- 64% in favor of the death penalty.
- 56% support stem cell research. 36% opposed. 12% were undecided. The highest demographic for opposition was lower educated, white, and elderly. Strange that there is a racial correlation.
- 38% of Americans say they are living comfortable. 28% say they can meet their needs with some spending money. 32% say they have just enough or do not have enough to meet the basics (but still survive, somehow. Our standards are too high).
Anyway, plenty of fodder for discussion!
