    It doesn't take a genius to work out that the 1 point error is bigger than the 3 point error.

    But here we have a political hack dissing all polls because he doesn't like the (totally unsurprising) result it has produced.

    1) That's not what a safe space means and you know it. 2) Any city of size has this element to it.

    If you want to make an argument that rural areas with nothing in them are safer, then congratulations you are right. You won forum gotcha for today. Have a cookie.

    Sorry -- humor doesn't translate well over the forums and I woke up with a cold so I'm extra cranky today.
