Wow, wow, wow... seems to be alot of denial embedded in the comments. Yes, numbers can be 'shaped' to say just about anyting, but does anyone really think we are really heading in the right direction as a society. Our next generation of leaders is our youth, and I worry that they are far from ready. The challenges they face in the world market are far greater than those we faced, and I question whether they are really ready. I really believe we are at a crossroads with regard to our country, and the next generation will ultimately define the outcome for the next 100 years. I see the results from this survey and several others like it to be very troubling.
