Are you calling me deluded? Why thank you

Those statisics are inaccurate. They are customized to reflect information that is desired, and not true at all.

Look at the Governments unemployment reports, they list say 1 million poeple out of work because they are collecting unemployment when the number is closer to 11 million because 10 million people have lost, or used up their unemployment benefits.

So simply put, don't believe anything published by the US Government that reflects a positive. After all, these are the same guys who led us to believe that Iraq had huge stock piles of WoMD, and non have been found yet. (Side not, I could care less about the Iraq thing, but still, it just goes to show you, those putting out the info are not always honest about it.)

The figures can actually be verified from other areas as well. And several attempts to artifically reduce crime rates have been uncovered in the past. These were pretty much all the work of local areas such as cities trying to get a better reputation and the figures for those years and those cities were adjusted accordingly. By increasing the crime rates.

If an organization is willing to do that rather than look the other way I am willing to give them a benefit of the doubt.

PS: You can take caution to far as well. Just because one thing from someone is bad doesn't make everything from them bad. If we used that reasoning then after the debut of the Virtua Boy by Nintendo nothing else they made would ever be good ever again. And countless other similiar comparisons and analogies.
IE: Until they do something to lose my trust I tend to trust them, but always with an eye watching for them to do something to lose it. I may be trusting, but not naive. Optimistic Realism.

anyway, it's not the job. i had to quit because i had health-related problems there, which i am kinda dissapointed about. i'm just not getting enough sleep, and posting here takes mental energy, which requires sleep.
