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.
