Strange but true...

I found a list of "50 Mind Blowing Facts About America That Our Founding Fathers Never Would Have Believed". Here are just a few:

• Oakland, California Police Chief Anthony Batts says that due to severe budget cuts there are a number of crimes that his department will simply not be able to respond to any longer. The crimes that the Oakland police will no longer be responding to include grand theft, burglary, car wrecks, identity theft and vandalism.
• In 2010, it takes the average unemployed American worker over 8 months to find a job.
• One Colorado high school student is seeking an explanation from officials at his school after he was ordered by security guards to remove American flags from his truck because they might make other students at the high school "uncomfortable".
• Memorial crosses erected along Utah public roads to honor fallen state troopers have been found unconstitutional by a federal appeals court and now must be removed permanently.
• One recent survey of last year's college graduates discovered that 80 percent moved right back home with their parents after graduation.
• In recent years the U.S. government has spent $2.6 million tax dollars to study the drinking habits of Chinese prostitutes and $400,000 tax dollars to pay researchers to cruise six bars in Buenos Aires, Argentina to find out why gay men engage in risky sexual behavior when drunk.

I don't know if our founding fathers would find these hard to believe or not, but I certainly find many of them hard to swallow!
