Neat graph. You could have matched either of those to anything. Now if we could all remember that correlation is not causation.

Add demand for hamburgers and guns per child and you have the most American statistics post seen here.
Any proof of statistical relation between what you've shown? That would be better then just overlaying two graphs.

If the USA kills democracy for cheaper gas, historically you guys will forever be one of the least intelligent groups of people to ever form a government in the history of the entire planet.
What's ridiculous is that I'm fairly certain nobody gives a shit and still think it's a great idea.
A good example would be the experiment where you put a small child in a room with a table.. on the table is one marshmallow. You tell the kid, if you can wait for 15 minutes and not eat the marshmallow, you can have 2... but if you eat it before, you only get one.
America is becoming the kid who just eats the one and then throws the table over and looses their mind when they don't get the other.

This is actually a nice-looking graph. Just not seeing why you put these 2 variables together :)

All this tells me is that his disapproval was going to grow regardless of gas, and the only thing that sped up the process was the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

I like this visual, interesting to see the data even in absence of correlation.
