1 - 2 years ago there was published on the net an opinion poll done by a U.S. group of students (I seem to remember) which showed that the average U.S. citizen had wildly skewed beliefs on the relative size of U.S. gvt. spending on social security vs "defense": They thought that the former was very large in the relation to the latter, and were miles off the the mark. A very illustrative example of how people are brainwashed. Does someone have postings concerning this poll archived? I would be very indebted if they can e-mail this directly to me! Thanks!
