"I think it is because you seem to have a problem wiht the word majority "

No Reginald,

Its not the term majority I have a problem with. Its how you make up new terms like "socio-economic". Just because you put a hyphen there doesn't make it a real concept. Its typical of your style to attempt a crass simplification of a complex issue by encoding it in Reggie-speak. Now you are pretending we are talking about economic terms, forgetting the "socio" part.

Its ok, you don't have to pretend to have any social conscience, humanistic qualities, or even an embryonic interest in democracy.
The measure of all things is economic...right?

Ha, had you pinned there, Reggie. One dollar, one vote. Very democratic concept, that, try taking it to the people, you and the Libertarians call for a few new constitutional amendments enshrining the principle properly. Or go the more limited route, just get noble Bill, friend of the common man, the MLB-style statutory exemption he deserves. Poor Jefferson had to pull "life, liberty, property" out of the Declaration to appease the rabble, maybe you guys could do better today.

Somehow, I have the feeling that the subjects of those polls don't quite understand "standard Microsoft business practice" the way we all do here. No worry, though, Bill's taking them where they want to go!

Cheers, Dan.
