Totems Without Taboos
--André Breton
I found it amusing to discover that a seemingly innocent children's game I used to play could have such a subversive history.
Like seeing Alexander Calder's mobiles now adorning nurseries.
a little of everything, a lot of nothing...

Mormons have a relatively high retention rate of childhood members compared with other major religious traditions. Seven-in-ten of those raised Mormon (70%) still identify as Mormon, a figure roughly comparable to that seen among those raised Catholic (68% are still Catholic) but somewhat lower than among those raised Protestant (80% are still Protestant and 52% are still in the same Protestant family). Jehovah's Witnesses, by contrast, have a relatively low retention rate (only 37% are still Jehovah's Witnesses).
