Morals? What are those?

Certainly not something we should be teaching children at school, home, or anywhere else.

Well, a new Scripps survey shows some surprising statistics about what Americans value.
For example, only 31 percent of Americans, out of over a thousand surveyed, cite homosexuality as a serious moral issue, compared to 71 percent concerned with hunger.

There are, of course, separations based on the normal demographic splits, with Republicans very much more concerned about Same-Sex marriage than Democrats.

What surprises me are the missing morals - how many Americans are angered by the lack of catagories including single drivers in the carpool lanes, or cell phones in the movies? Surely, we cannot simple ignore them! You try sitting through Hitch while someone is talking to their girlfriend in Nepal.

Also, thankfully, only 18 percent of respondents were concerned with gambling. The other 82 percent were glued to their televisions waiting for the results of the Pick Four, which they all unfortunately lost.
