Wow, this is horrible. You're comparing 10 years against 5, are you not?
This should be much, much more clear, as my initial impression was the same as sara's here.

Golly gee...I wouldn't go so far as to say it's Horible, comrade. Granted first impressions might be hurried, but if one takes time to collect the context of the graph or the context of anything (data, information, knowledge, etc.) for that matter, their lives may be enriched greatly by the sense of perspective and depth. I suppose that's one of the hardest things for me to contend with here--the consolidation of striking, immediate display and the value of text and context.
Noted: will try to make graphs incredibly explicit. Verrrry explicit. Thanks for the constructive feedback.

I'm not trying to be cruel or anything. I value the work that they're trying to do at Swivel, but this is an example of what I really worry about with the service.
Presenting data, and reaching honest conclusions from data is difficult, and in some ways Swivel seems to make it easier to do it wrong than to do it right.

We never seem to consider anything past the way we feel today. Taking a look at the historical implications of poor moral relative decisions has been a catastrophe for humans. What measure do we use to show a standard. Has anyone ever considrered taking advice from someone who has moral character and sticks to it, especially when odds are against them?

This chart is misleading. While it's clear that you aren't showing all 50 states, it isn't clear that you're only showing the bottom 10.

Rictic, thank you for pointing that out. If you click on the drop down box where it says "limited to" and change it to "all" and then click the arrow, you can see the percentages for all 50 states: http://www.swivel.com/graphs/show/26466731?limit_modifier=all&graph%5Blimit%5D=51&commit=%3E
