      I especially liked this part, from the "Doom and gloom" spin:

      Higher gas prices, legalized gay marriage and the possible arrival of bird flu also are seen as being in the cards.


      Which of these items does not fit?

        Six in 10 people think the U.S. will be the victim of a terrorist attack. An identical percentage thinks it likely that a biological or nuclear weapon will be unleashed somewhere else in the world.

        Seventy percent of people in the U.S. predict a major natural disaster in the country and an equal percentage expects worsening global warming. Also, 29 percent think it likely that the U.S. will withdraw its troops from
        Iraq.

        Among other predictions for the U.S. in 2007:

        _35 percent predict the military draft will be reinstated.

        _35 percent predict a cure for cancer will be found.

        _25 percent anticipate the second coming of Jesus Christ.

        _19 percent think scientists are likely to find evidence of extraterrestrial life.



        Oh people, dear people. Jesus coming here next year with a 25% chance = 1 Jesus every 4 years.

        And 60% believe that weapons of mass destruction will be used ?

          I would be rather suspect of the methodology of such a poll. I would imagine that the results would depend quite heavily on the wording of the questions.

                Gas prices, because that one doesn't have a biological connection within the past million years.

                          I am optimistic locally and internally (that is, domestic US policy and economic stability) and pessimistic internationally (see no end to the current violence, and think some significant increase in blodshed somewhere is very possible).
