Sounds like they polled a lot of Freepers with the trolls and doomer/gloomers being the real minority, they are.

"ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- America is an unusually upbeat and optimistic country. A new Harris Poll finds that Americans are more likely than Europeans to say that their lives have improved over the last five years, and to expect that their lives will improve in the future. This is true whether they are thinking of their personal lives, their employment or financial situations, or their countries' economies."

"These are the conclusions reached when the results of a survey of 2,092 American adults who were surveyed online by Harris Interactive(R) between December 8 and 15, 2004 are compared with the results of a Eurobarometer survey of the 25 countries of the European Union, which was conducted in February and March 2004."

Grampa Dave....

WOW....very strange (and ENCOURAGING!) considering the content of the message I sent you earlier today! I'll reply via FreepMail, but I'm tied up right now trying to help my lovely wife get ready for a birthday party....gonna be about a dozen 10 year old boys here soon.

SHOULD be a GOOD time!
