    Are there nutters who think that's a conspiracy, just like vaccines and fluoride?

    That's the problem with the Republican side. They sort of try to shrink it,

    Except they don't.

    Clearly you didn't get the single knob analogy. Try thinking of a graphic equalizer.

    Brilliant idea. Let's test how a car handles by showing someone a drawing of a lego model of it. And instead of clinical trials we'll test medicines for efficacy & safety by asking people which bottle looks nicest.

    They're charlatans and anyone who uses them is an idiot.

    Why do people who hate the overreach of the government keep voting for more government?

    Perhaps it's not like a simple knob that you can turn this way for up or that way for down?

    Care to give us more details of the methodology they used, what with you being such an expert and everything?

    First they came for the tape decks, but I didn't say anything because I had a cassette recorder.

    My fist thought was that a tape deck is a cassette recorder.

    First, lets take your claim that it "comes out equal" when "adjusting for income". Some home schoolers I know are well off (middle class), but most are -- at best -- in the lower portion of the middle class if not lower class.

    Nothing to do with what he claimed.

    It seems homeschoolers either don't learn reading comprehension or don't learn statistics.

    As families, the ones I am familiar with, put a greater emphasis on the family rather than status or money

    They're not so hot on punctuation either.

    Right, because there's totally no way you could record your own phrases.

    Before anyone gets carried away by how fucking brilliant I am, I'd considered building a telemarketer tormentor using Astrerix. It never got past the beermat stage, but we thought of that problem and solved it before we'd even finished the first beer.

    The trouble is, we don't know which half.
