Lies, damned lies and liberal statistics

"Statistics lead to liberalism and should not be collected."

Actually, I love statistics. The problem with the statistics of Sixties liberals is that they sought out statistics as evidence of social problems about which government ought to do something. Well, they did something, and those social problems immediately got much worse, and pretty soon it was possible to statistically demonstrate a correlation between liberalism and socioeconomic disaster -- a correlation long suspected prior to the Sixties, but now a proven fact that only fools dispute.
