PUBLIC TRUST

According to a newspaper article in this mornings paper politicians and automobile venders continue to be the most distrusted people we know, while firefighters, nurses, and farmers are the most trusted. A marketing poll said that 16% of people trust politicians. Car salesmen are trusted by 18%. Firefighters are trusted by 97 %. Nurses are trusted by 94% followed by farmers at 91%. Doctors scored 89% and teachers scored 88%. I guess there were others included in the study but they weren't included in the article. Most conspicuously absent were the figures for lawyers. I think they should have been mentioned and I think they should rank about the same as docters who should be ranked pretty much equal to gaming house operators. Why anyone would rank them above a car salesman is a mistery to me.
