Back
in 1991, James Patterson and Peter Kim published a book entitled The Day America Told the Truth. In a
scientific poll of American citizens, one question they asked was, “What are you
willing to do for $10,000,000?” Here was the response:
Would
abandon their entire family (25%)
Would
abandon their church (25%)
Would
become prostitutes for a week or more (23%)
Would
give up their American citizenship (16%)
Would
leave their spouses (16%)
Would
withhold testimony and let a murderer go free (10%)
Would
kill a stranger (7%)
Would
put their children up for adoption (3%)
