There are far more important things the world needs to accomplish before we consider peace:
1. Justice. Injustice causes unrest which leads to violence.
2. Freedom. Lack of freedom eventually leads to violent rebellion.

Ehm. It is me (1) and my significant other (2), so any additional "significant other" would make it 3. Or my math is totally rusty

Well normally you wouldn't refer to yourself as an "other" (unless you have multiple personalities) - joking 
I do get what you mean (you're not your own SO, but you are *a* SO)

The other side of the window has a sign that said "There is no Santa Claus".

I think it's very sad that more than twice as many people have voted to have more money than a meaningful relationship with another human being.

I think the survey said "A cute Significant Other" - It mentions nothing about a meaningful relationship with said cute significant other.

 My mistake, I assumed that "significant" meant "significant" and not just "temporary bit of fluff"...

Those who already have a cute S.O. wouldn't vote for it now would they

But typically the cute SO goes hand in hand w/ the need for more money. Or have the past 8-9 years lied to me

Yes they have. You dont need the money to have a cute SO. It's all the personality, money is secondary.

No they have not.
Having a cute significant other brings the pressing need for more money - if only to feed the lot of small cute significant others running around our (always too small) house.

indeed! The cost of the smaller CSO's is an exponential magnitude of the chief CSO.
not complaining, wouldn't trade any amount of money for either (most days), just one of those things.
