38% of Americans are not entitled ...

to have an opinion, according to a report in the Onion.

Research conducted by the University of Chicago, and published recently, concluded that more than one-third of the U.S. population is neither entitled nor qualified to have opinions.

'...we found that many of the opinions expressed were so off-base and ill-informed that they actually hurt society by being voiced," said chief researcher Professor Mark Fultz ...'

P.S. The Onion is an award-winning parody newspaper. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's not true.

  6. I think it probably is global, mdmhvonpa, and also probably not a parody, Lord N.

    Course you and me are part of the 62%, mary. Brains like ours how could we not be?

    Dr Stu, no, not a coincidence, i'm sure!
