From What Canadians Think About Almost Everything, the list of the most distrusted professons, in order of distrust:
politicians - 60%
lawyers - 40%
corporate executives - 35%
union leaders - 31%
tv/film celebrities - 22%
comedians - 18%
journalists - 17%
sports celebrities - 14%
music celebrities - 13%
priests and ministers - 13%
Top of the most trusted list? "Firefighters rank number one as the hottest in trust."
13% looks pretty good to me, considering the percentage of the population who don't have anything to do with religion. That means a lot of non-christians still trust the priests and ministers, even though they don't believe in what the pastors preach.
How does one justify the difference between politicians and lawyers, I wonder, when most politicians ARE lawyers?
How does a nation ensure honesty and integrity among its politicians? Shoot all the lawyers!!!
I'm kidding, I'm kidding!! Sheesh, such a bunch of sore-heads!
