Data Mining

This is an appeal for people out there to stop looking at data and finding the answer when in plain sight, using common sense the answer is out there. For example, people say that because of the low handgun and long gun ownership the death toll in the UK is the lowest. When, in fact, there are several countries that have higher hand and long gun ownership than the UK and lower number of killings by guns. Just because you look in a field full of horse droppings, you won't find a pony in each pile. In fact you just might find:

The author had data mined and makes himself look like the south end of a North headed horse. Yep er, the real thing. And, I don't need to read, feel or kiss one to know the real thing. (at least 9 times out of 10)

    Ha Ha Ha... Where's the tail? What is that thing there? Is it plugging up the hole? I've never seen something like that... at least, if I did, I don't remember it. What the heck is it... a butt hole bow?

  2. Although I loathe to mention the name, "Bowling for Columbine" actually doesn't condemn the gun industry. Big Boy Michael Moore's most startling finding in the book/film is that while violent crimes in the US went down 19% in the 1990s, the REPORTING of violent crimes on the news increased over 400%.

    Guns don't make us killers...but the TV news man apparently is able to make us think we are.
