I looked the tables and they are not the ones I remembered.  I think I 
captured the information, but it would be on another computer.  It was year 
by year and not in 5 year blocks.

It would be interesting to plot income per capita, particularly if it could 
be broken out by religions.

I think the association between groups that are causing problems and groups 
that think they have a bleak future is really high.  Can you think of an 
exception?
