NEW YORK, July 2, 2006 (UPI) -- A sociological study from Duke and the University of Arizona found that most Americans have only two close confidantes, the New York Times reported Sunday. With the rise of the Internet, an increase in work hours and long commutes, and technology that discourages face-to-face interaction, the average American's connection to his or her community is weakening, the Times reported from the study.

Interesting. Maybe another place followers of Christ can make a difference in this world? Or maybe we can just be lonely together...
