LOL! Coincidence vs Causation strikes again.

Maybe someone should do a correlation study justifying a mandatory retirement age for politicians to prevent utter asswipe emerging from legislative chambers.

Why do Americans always have to be 'more' of everything than everyone else? Jeez, our Brit right wing loonies try their best, bless 'em, but they could never match something as all out, sleeves rolled, insane as this.

Lord only knows what that moron actually did. I suspect he didn't even normalize by the population, so that it would be actual results, not results per thousand citizens. And I'm betting he doesn't even know about correcting for confounding factors.

My guess is that kindergartens are found in less rural, more populated areas, and that the absolute rate of crime (as opposed to per capita crime) is of course more prevalent in more populated areas. But since he hasn't published his crackpot stuff (which he was working on for SIXTEEN YEARS!), I can't tell.

For all we know, he made it all up.

With all due respect Dark Steven, you couldn't make this stuff up. It's simply too daft. The idiot who compiled this dubious data would benefit from a course in critical thinking, but that's frowned on over in the looney Right too........
