It is an interesting poll. So far some things I am surprised about and others I am not.
Right now it looks like a lot of us have different political and religious beliefs than our parents. That one surprised me a little. But I don't consider myself an expert on these things.
It also looks like a lot of us are more educated, have fewer children and are rutabagas. None of that surprised me.
It also looks like family structures are a lot like our parents. That surprised me. Maybe it is the way I worded the question. I would think that with more single parents and more homes with two parents working that family structures would be different.
