I'm just going by the chart :o) I guess in theory the disparity of wealth would be less and more folks would be contributing evenly... instead of have not votes being bought with haves money in democracies.. Mind you the very extreme haves aren't left out either ... Meanwhile what do I do on the IQ front ? did the French and Irish components dilute my Chinese component :o) Oh what I might have been LOL... BTW too bad about the garden... Maybe some other opportunity will present itself ...

<I dunno what's Ghandiesque about wanting to tell other people how to run their lives!> Ghandi was a lawyer. That explains a lot already. He used to wear swanky suits in South Africa. [I bet Google has a picture - I'll look]. Winston Churchill called him a little fakir [pun on faker I think]. He got to be the boss of India and got Britain to leave. India became heavily socialist. Socialist is very very much telling other people how to run their lives - ipso facto and casus belli and gung ho and other legalistic latin. Couldn't find a photo of Ghandi in his suit. I remember seeing one of him, when he was lawyering in South Africa. Quite the man about town. Churchill on Ghandi <At the age of 73, Gandhi began another fast. Winston Churchill, Britain's prime minister, who had earlier called Gandhi a 'seditious fakir', suspected that Gandhi was fed glucose whenever he drank water: "... and this, as well as his intense vitality and lifelong austerity, enabled this frail being to maintain his prolonged abstention from any visible form of food. Nearly all the Indian members of the Viceroy's Executive Council demanded his release, and resigned in protest at our refusal. In the end, being quite convinced of our obduracy, he abandoned his fast and his health, though he was very weak, was not seriously affected." (from The Second World War, vol. 4., by Winston Churchill, 1951). Gandhi was released from custody unconditionally in the spring of 1944. > kirjasto.sci.fi Mqurice
