Hi csl,

really, it is only if you have a philosophy that doesn't match reality that statistics need to be tortured.

when you look at the figures, they tell you what is actually happening. eg I don't torture the inflation numbers to derive my theory about inflation. I just read them. and they say what they say.

so there is no torture equivalence here.

but otherwise, sure. i understand where you stand.

Hi alea,

As you know, I am not a Republican I am a Libertarian.

I want all companies to succeed in any market they choose to compete in by investing their own human and financial capital while competing on a level playing field. I simply found the video interesting.

Mostly, I just vote for the lesser of two evils. This year its Romney hands down. I'm not happy about the choice but a second Obama term will be a calamity. Romney doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy either.

We can all torture statistics to support whatever view we choose. I choose not to play the game.

I am still inclined to think, for now anyway, the poll on election day will be contrary to expectations around here. Things can change and I anticipate "events" out of the blue could influence results in the next month. We will see.

For now its back to hiding in my cave.
