January 2006 WAWG Index – Up 7.7%

In this fourth month for the WAWG index, there was an average increase of 7.7 percent from December, 2005.      

January saw a 106 percent increase in obsession with crime and punishment from December, but this brings it back to the first reading in October, 2005.

After two down months, cronyism and corruption was up 12 percent, the largest increase for the month. The largest decrease was 10 percent for rampant sexism.

Two trends might be developing. One is election fraud, which increased in each of the last three readings. However, the increase has been smaller each month. The other is corporate power, which has also increased in each of the last three months but each increase is larger than the last.

Of the fourteen items tracked, 6 were down, 6 were up, and 2 were unchanged.
