It's true that the majority of Americans don't vote because they don't see enough of a concrete difference in the nature of the platform of the two parties and in the respective positions of the two candidates themselves. IMO, the similarities outweigh the differences. Pappa Bush, for example, had a voting record in Congress as being a moderate to liberal Republican. But after being Reagan's VP and being put in the position of not receiving the huge campaign contributions that comes with supporting the "Moral Majority", he all of a sudden became more religious. I expect the Republican Party Platform to return to a more moderate stance if they lose this election.

A statistical sample. Sounds like the same mathematics applied to the gold mining industry by our in house mining analyst. Over 40 million votes cast in national elections is not a statistical sample. While the number is less than 50% of people eligible to vote, it is a substantial amount of votes. Poles reflective statistical sampling. It is refreshing to note that you do not limit your confused way of looking at numerical values to the gold producers. Your comments put in perspective your distorted views of the gold producers and their complicity in artificially increasing the supply of gold available to the markets. Ken
