Here's the latest round-up of unattached figures from THE WEEK.
-One in five 16 year-olds crashes his of her car within a year of obtaining a driver's license. (USA Today)
I actually got my first ride, a 1981 thunderbird, stuck while attempting to mud bog. Not really a "crash" but it shows the mentality of the driver none the less.
-The average dog costs its owner about $48,000 over the course of its lifetime, according to a study by a British insurer. (Reuters)
-This sounds a little high, but only a little.
-77% of Americans think it should be legal to display the Ten commandments on public property. 14% say it violates the Constitution's separation of church and state and should be illegal. 9% aren't sure. (FOX News/Opinion Dynamics)
If we only had a representative government then the wishes of the majority might matter, oh well.
