   2.5 million more women than men? Is this normal? Or was this initial post-wartime male population decline?

   Also, it's amazing how the political ad lines haven't changed.

   Peeves, the difference is probably because women live longer than men. There are a lot of elderly women living alone, and they vote!

   As the years have gone by, Americans have clearly become
   dumber and dumber.

   Sad.

   Am I the only one that is amused at the timing of this post? Posting an "I like Ike" commercial as Hurricane Ike is destroying the Texas cost.

   SAdGirl: That's a biased generalization.

   Are you saying that Americans became dumber because the women who ran the family home so efficiently went out to work instead, and are no longer around to help their kids with the homework?

   SAdGirl:

   By what measure are we getting dumber? Far more people per capita can read today than in 1952. We are better at a larger variety math. We are able to understand technology better.

   There is far less racism today than in 1952. I am not saying there is no racism, but I am white guy married to a Vietnamese woman, and I see almost no hatred towards us. I don't think the same would be said in 1950.

   There are a thousand other ways that people today are better educated, better behaved, more tolerant, more open minded. So please, enlighten me. How are we 'dumber'?

   My Grandma use to tell me she voted for Ike because she felt he was a man of honor being a General and all. Then she would add, "It was the worst decision I ever made!" God, I miss her.

   The mainstream media has changed for the worse, and so has the recent campaign ads if you asked me.
