Tim-- every science report? Really? Every single one brings up God just so it can deny the possibility? Even the reports on, say, the speeds of light through different mediums?
Spirituality is ignored because it cannot be quantified. Science is only concerned with that which can be falsified regarding the natural universe. God/spirituality/religion are outside its purview. This is indicative neither of its validity nor invalidity.
"According to the BEA, the national annual savings rate fell in 2005 to its lowest point since the Great Depression: negative 0.4 percent. Since then, it has continued to fall, registering at negative 1.6 percent in May 2006 and negative 1.5 percent in June. Compare those numbers with 1985 when the national savings rate hit a record 11.1 percent and it's clear why economists are raising the warning flag." from BankRate
Google "American savings rate" and you'll see many other sources stating it's below 0%.
I was about to say, tomtheman5, that I just took a personal finance course last semester, and, yeah, negative savings right now, bottoming out a trend over the last 20 years to save less and less.
What a nifty idea. Let's start having adult playgrounds, too. I love playing on swings, but it's weird to do so when there's kiddies around and you have none yourself. On the other hand, swinging at night on an empty playground is rather enjoyable. No waiting. :)
