Anytime someone decides to try to bolster their argument with numbers,
I'm pretty much a stickler for them actually basing them in facts, not
just making things up.

The NY State Comptroller's office has a very different view of dutchess
county:

http://www.osc.state.ny.us/reports/economic/dutchess_08.pdf

"In 2006, the average salary in Dutchess rose by
4 percent to $43,090. The average salary in
manufacturing grew by 3.5 percent to $84,980—
the highest among all the major sectors. Within the
manufacturing sector, the average salary for
workers in computer and electronic products was
even higher, at $94,950."

If someone else has some other more relevant survey, please feel free to
post.

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
