Comments on: UK local council has a brainstorm http://magicstatistics.com/2008/06/22/uk-local-council-has-a-brainstorm/ "I accept no responsibility for statistics, which are a form of magic beyond my comprehension." -- Robertson Davies Sat, 13 Dec 2008 07:05:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Simon Fleischmann http://magicstatistics.com/2008/06/22/uk-local-council-has-a-brainstorm/comment-page-1/#comment-23413 Simon Fleischmann Tue, 24 Jun 2008 09:57:42 +0000 http://magicstatistics.com/?p=3184#comment-23413 OMG! This is as hilarious as the incident a few years ago in Washington, D.C. in which a financial services executive in the employ of the US government was terminated for saying: "We cannot be seen to be niggardly in this year's budget allocations" in the presence of African American/Black/"of color"/whatever American staffers. Or the case of internationally celebrated journalist Mark Steyn's current troubles with Canadian human rights commissions for being an investigative journalist capable of research, a perspective, and the literacy skills to communicate it all in an engaging and insightful - even persuasive! - manner. AND THERE'S THE RUB! The politically correct thought police types cannot CONVERT to their cause due to their own incompetencies, so they seek to REPRESS others instead. Soon, of course, the very competencies that the politically correct do not have will be next on the REPRESS THIS! list. Truly, if ever we needed proof that all humans are not created equal in that some of us are a LOT brighter than others, we have it here. Please join me in declaring the genuinely stupid to be supremely boring and unworthy of any time-investment. Generally, that means ignoring almost every politician known to humankind. Imagine the benefits as they would be reflected in the daily media! FINALLY! Humankind would learn BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT that the mainstream media had become irrelevant because - as we all should have recognized a long time ago - recycling used petrol is a scientific impossibility.

Or the case of internationally celebrated journalist Mark Steyn’s current troubles with Canadian human rights commissions for being an investigative journalist capable of research, a perspective, and the literacy skills to communicate it all in an engaging and insightful – even persuasive! – manner.
