There is danger in people placing ALL their faith in the written word, if they do not allow it to be tempered by experience. For instance, I read today that 1 in 10 Americans:
1. Suffer from Attention Sufficiency Disorder
2. Are Foreign Born
3. Are victims of Credit Card Fraud
4. Say their lives are not worth living
5. Will get their mobile phone from TTP
6. Students carry a weapon to school
7.
American adults now sings weekly in some kind of chorus
If I believed all I read, I could confidently say that an informal survey here would provide the same result. Could you help me with a little fun? Let me know what country you are from (since the above are based on the American Experience). And if you are a 1 in 10.
I will go first:
Canada
1. No - I suffer from SML - Short-term memory loss
2. No - but every Canadian comes from somewhere else
3. No - But mine was stolen once.
4. No - Only 1 day out of 15,330.
5. No - What is TTP?
6. No - But I took my harmonica once. Does that count as a weapon?
7. (Does I used to count?)
