Myths and Truths

Three things I learned today to counter "common knowledge"

1. Conneticut is not losing population:
Location, location, location: Latest census estimates indicate population in
Connecticut on the rise
So if Connecticut has such a high cost of living, why are people coming here? That is a much different question.

2. Custom gas formulas do not result in increase prices:
'Boutique' Gasoline Blends Not Boosting Prices, Study Finds
So another explanation for high gas prices is out the window.

3. There are atheists in fox holes:

Also certain religions such as Buddhism are considered atheistic because they do not believe in "a god". I think that is starting to blur the line, but the questions still is, "When faced with his mortality, and stripped of reason, does man recognize a supreme being?"
