I would have a difficult time accepting ANYthing the Associated Press,
or most of our media outlets, put forth. They usually have an agenda,
and they always want to generate interest through controversy.
Trust no survey or research unless you see the original questions.
When our kids were little, I taught them to always ask about the money
when a survey was quoted. Who paid, and who has an interest? That
usually points to the results; the survey or research itself wasn't
necessary.

AFter reading the article, my first question was why didn't AP do a
study on automobile accidents? There's more of them, more fatalities,
and it is difficult to get older folks out from behind the wheel.

I'm thinking aviation is easier to pick on, since there are fewer
pilots than drivers, and old folks don't equate flying with personal
freedom, as they do with driving.
