One of the best arguments I know of against statistics--the old figures
don't lie, but liars figure, and politicians will usually twist the numbers
to suit themselves. Personally, I refuse to answer any opinion poll because
I got tired of the pollsters being unable to accept an "I don't know" answer
to something I knew nothing about--like whether Susie's baby is Jason's or
Steve's in the last episode of "Friends" for example. And don't bother me
with the fact that there probably wasn't a Susie, Jason, Steve, or baby on
Friends--told you I knew nothing about it. But is the average person any
more informed about current affairs in general than I am about TV shows in
general--I doubt it.
I'd be interested in Mike Gigante's comment on the situation in Australia.
This is certainly good enough reason to oppose gun registration, as if the
creation of another bureaucracy wasn't enough of a reason. I don't want to
be forced to give up my guns when some do-gooder says I must--even if it is
unconstitutuional down here.
