dalthauserThe divorce rate in the United States has fallen by 13 percent since 2000.
I wonder if part of that is that people can't afford to get married in the first place.... ;-)
The average credit card debt is under $5,000 for the first time since 2002.
Mine is just under this, and I'm actively chipping away at it.
Scientists have discovered that gorillas play tag.
This I would like to see.

Date: 2011-01-28 10:12 pm (UTC)Sometimes they change their definition or limitations of what they call something (in this case it's DIVORCE) so that it makes the new stats appear to be going up or down when they might not be in reality.
I mean are they talking first-divorces or are they talking all divorces?
I'd love to see the stats broken down by race, religion, state, socio-economic status, number of years marriage lasted, first-time divorces vs. multi-divorces, etc.
I'd also like to know where they are getting their statistics from. Not all sources are equally trustworty.
I agree with you--I'd like to see gorillas playing tag.
