<ot>Hi Mag - IMHO, different people have different opinions, it is far better to carry on a civil exchange than to commit a fracas like that in FL! Irrelevant but important cultural thing 1st, ...like saying all residents of India are Buddists {sic) Most Indians are Hindu or Muslim. OTOH, most Tibetans are buddhist, and the exile govt is located in Daramsala, in India, but they are Tibetan, not Indian. However, one of the important teachers of the 14th Dalai Lama, the late Kunnu Rinpoche, was Indian. But there are really few Buddhists relative to the Indian population. So you are absolutely right that it would be a bad assumption to believe "all residents of India are Buddhists," but I suppose that is not your point :). Back to PB county, you are also right to say not all residents are Jewish. Having said that, it is equally absurd to assert 3,400 of them intentionally voted for Buchanan simply b/c the membership of RP in PB county having doubled between 1996 and 2000. As I ve implicitly pointed out before, Buchanan candidacy has altered the character of the RP. I do not think anyone with a reasonable understanding of world affair can honestly deny that. Additionally, the statistical variance among the 67 counties in FL and the present of the butterfly ballot in the county have provided a stronger inference some of the votes were a mistake. Therefore, since the Reps has refused the more direct approach of allowing the population [those who have voted] to clarify their intent, circumstantial evidence has suggested some of these are due to confusion is stronger than all of them are true intent. Well, if it is impartial to you, then maybe you can at least contemplate this as a person with deductive curosity. Nothing wrong to exercise our mind <VBG> best, Bosco
