I was going to chime in about the flaws of looking at a growth rate graph, but there is no way I can do better than HumanAction... genius!

@HumanAction, the slapping example is spot on. However, you can expect the libs to be too dense to grasp the concept even when it's reduced to that level of simplicity. It`s called "willful ignorance."

Want to know the entire problem with this post and following thread? Imagine this scenario:
A husband comes home every day and slaps his wife once. She wisely leaves him, and eventually gets married again. Now though, every time husband #2 comes home, he slaps her twice. Wisely again, she leaves him, and remarries a third time - except now, she gets slapped three times every day.
The increase of slapping from husband #1 to #2 was 100%, while the increase of slapping from husband #2 to husband #3 was only 50%. Supposedly, according to this post and various liberals, this is progress because the increase of rate of slapping has fallen.
