- davidw 13y agoYou really can't see that? Do you think there's the odd chance the ensuing discussion might - just might - deviate from the discussion of some numbers? My inclination is that we will see yet another reenactment of a famous internet flame war.
- mrchucklepants 13y agoIt is possible, and likely will happen. However, the OP is completely relevant.
- bjterry 13y agoReal facts aren't political, and all facts taken together aren't political. But statistics are often biased or flat out incorrect because of political ends, and the selective dissemination of statistics is political.
