it seems americans arnt exactly happy with the last decade (who knew:P). i was reading the WSJ and came across a pole they did with some interesting results. thought i might share as i found the numbers fairly stagering and maybe they are starting to wake up to the mess they are in. Here is the link and there are 4 poles they did accross the top.
