Posters, Tshirts and more available here

Only ONE-THIRD (33%) of Americans trust most people, according to the latest annual General Society Survey. That's the lowest on record, down from 50% trust in 1972.

The AP-GfK poll conducted last month found that Americans are suspicious of each other in everyday encounters. Less than one-third expressed a lot of trust in clerks who swipe their credit cards, drivers on the road, or people they meet when traveling. Add their own President to the list.while you're at it. Obama has the lowest favorable rating now of any president since Nixon. DO YOU TRUST THIS MAN, even if he is your president?

Do You Trust This Man?

Some blame the decreasing social interactions in society on the trust factor , which could also account for the problems of late in Washington, where are leaders can rarely seem to come together anymore. And, it looks like no turnaround is in site, as the decreasing trust has been
a continuing pattern since the survey began a half century ago.

Maybe the famous old World War II Poster should be updated to 'KEEP CALM, CARRY ON
but TRUST NO ONE'shorted to 'KEEP CALM and TRUST NO ONE.' You'll probably live a smarter and Healthier, Richer and HAPPIER LIFE doing so today.

Even more popular today, Keep Calm and Carry On was a motivational poster produced by the British government in 1939 several months before the beginning of the Second World War, intended to raise the morale of the British public in the aftermath of widely predicted mass air attacks on major cities It had only limited distribution with no public display, and thus was little known. It was rediscovered in 2000, has been re-issued by a number of private companies, and has been used as the decorative theme for a range of products. It was believed there were only two known surviving examples of the poster outside government archives^[3] until a collection of 20 originals was brought in to the Antiques Roadshow in 2012 by the daughter of an ex-Royal Observer Corps member ^(wikipedia)
