Do Statistics Prove Anything?

It’s like this you see
9 0ut of 10 cat owners
like a little kitty (apparently I'm not allowed to use p   y - how droll)
4out of 5 dog owners 
like a bit of ruff
but only 4 out of 8 horse riders
like to mount a filly
50% of everything is only
half of what’s available
and 100% of most things is
far too much to handle
remember though with just 1 other
you can’t be in the minority
Q.E.D. 


How frustrating that single words are censored.  Not words like kill, maim, stab, 
torture, abuse, death, hate  though.  Once again, violence triumphs over mild 
innuendo

Hi Mike, First, let me say I think your style is unique and has a certain power to draw the reader. Next, I agree with your opinion and do get so frustrated with censorship. However, I have been on a site for years that had almost no censorship and the writing became such that, morally, I could not stay. Also, to squeeze our ideas into the strict bounds of censorship does require a certain gift and yours does shine! Regards, GS
