According to their 990 form Greenpeace claimed $38,363, 322 dollars in direct public support for 2007. From May 8th to May 10th the new Star Trek Movie made $75,204,289 according to boxofficemojo.com. That is a difference of nearly 37 million dollars in favor of Star Trek/Paramount Pictures in 363 fewer days. I chose Greenpeace because they are a large non profit that most people have heard of, but I’m sure filling in the blank with another organisation would illustrate a similar or even more dramatic divide.

They say you can use statistics to prove just about anything, so… what does it prove?
