[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 52927"] "I'm not willing to believe that even UPS would use the US Congress to spread a lie" Why not, everyone else does. Of course, it isn't usually referred to as lying, but just "politics". You just confidently state a bunch of statistics, many times they have to be a bit slanted and omit critical information, but hey, (it's even better if you footnote references) then state what it was you want people to believe and say the statistics support and prove your point and Whalla, Politics! There doesn't have to be any truth, reality or even practicality to it and it is usually accepted to some degree. "Lying" is such a harsh word. Plus, as I mentioned earlier, every investment guru can show you a plan or formula where he could have made you rich using past statistics. It's the same basic thing and just as useful. On a more personal and serious issue: Awww darn, my hopes are dashed again! Ok, I guess it's back to the Lotto investment theory. [/QUOTE]
