That's the nastiest looking scatter plot I've seen in a while... http://www.leftbusinessobserver.com/Freedom1996.gif Can't you clean that up so it's suitable for children, Doug?

It almost looks like negative correlation towards the middle.

So... How *are they* plotting the points? Or are they truly making it all up?

An LBO special report: the Heritage/WSJ Freedom Index is absolutely meaningless: <http://www.leftbusinessobserver.com/FreedomIndex.html>.

Every year since 1995 they've put this thing out, to great interest and satisfaction on the right. Too bad it's absolutely useless!
