>From Noam Chomsky, *Propaganda and the Public Mind* (South End Press,
2001), pp. 174f.:


> India, unlike the United States and like practically every other
> industrial country outside the U.S., keeps regular social
statistics.
> The U.S. is maybe the only industrial country that doesn't do this.
> India has a regular publication of social indicators
========= Exskweeeze me, the US doesn't keep social statistics? What does the census bureau, doc, itc, pentagon,cia, fbi, doj, nsa and all those other acronyms we love so well do if not statistics?
