The exasperation of numbers,showing one side,
and a moment later, another.
There are always multiple
convenient
truths
depending on one's persuasion.
Years ago I read,
How to Lie with Statistics,
yet, I'm still often persuaded
by one strong argument
while another sits
so quietly
on the sidelines,
waiting to come out
just at the right time
to embarrass and harass.
