...presented in 2000, "is built on the actual empirical evidence we have concerning the content of dreams," Revonsuo says. "It's surprising how many theories of dreaming there are that are not based on any systematic review of the evidence."

Most voters say that religion seldom or never influences their voting decisions, and voters are far more concerned about officials who pay too much attention to religion than those who pay too little (51 vs. 35 percent in a 2004 CBS/New York Times poll), as the Schiavo backlash reflects...
