Statistics and polls are for loosers and manipulators, Doug. It's all in the wording. Some words sound just wonderful but when you strip off the sugarcoating there's nothing more that what my dog leaves in my neigbor's yard every morning.

Heck, if worded just right, I'd bet that a clever pollster could get 80% of the American people to admit to having had sex with a farm animal, yourself included.

Gotta be real suspicious of polls these days especially now that so many of the working classes' tax buck are being spent on PR firms to manipulate public opinion. And a great way to do that is to twist words around so that people don't have a clue what they're agreeing to.

And it's not just the ordinary folks either. In 1996 4 FCC regulations were dropped from the original 1932 codes and after the fact many Senators say they didn't have a clue what they were even voting on.

So don't be too danged quick to jump on polls, Dougie. You'll note that I don't use poll numbers in my posts, no matter how well they may support one of my arguments, for this very reason. Garbage in, garbage out...
