You "just found this"? What were you looking for? Man, you must really be bored to be reading the US Census site. What happened to all of that "I've been busy at work" crap?

Hahahaha! Actually, I was thinking of how many Americans really voted. So, I figured the Census site would have a number, it did. About 1/3 of the American population VOTED! Pretty awesome I think. Then I went to their "World POP Clock" thing and saw the seconds/stats. I found it somewhat interesting.

I'm at one of my slower retail locations this week, so I have a little time to surf s2ki.com and other sites. It's boring here at times.

I understand. It has been rather slow at my place as well. I know it will not last. All you know what is going to come down at once. Most likely during the holiday season. Oh well, such is life.

I guess 1/3 is not bad at all. A great number of the 294 million would be under 18 years of age.

Come on now. Do you really think the ban on assault weapons had any impact in the numbers of deaths by guns? If there was a ban on two door convertibles would you walk? No. You would drive another type of vehicle.
