Just saw this on another Bulliten Board. Interesting insight into how NeoCons spin and spin to prove they are right. Anyone care to come up with a response to this: Number of letters in George: 6 Number of letters in Al: 2 : ...data mining. Amazing what one can do with statistics. Especially : the latter one! : Counties won by Gore: 677 : Counties won by Bush: 2,434 : Population of counties won by Gore: 127 million : Population of counties won by Bush: 143 million : Square miles of country won by Gore: 580,000 : Square miles of country won by Bush: 2,427,000 : States won by Gore: 19 : States won by Bush: 29 : Professor Joseph Olson of the Hamline University School of Law in St. : Paul Minnesota has produced another interesting new statistic. Professor : Olson looked up the crime statistics for all of these counties and came : up with this: : Average Murder per 100,000 residents in counties won by Gore: 13.2 : Average Murder per 100,000 residents in counties won by Bush: 2.1 *Note-popular vote left out b/c meaningless! *Note-Electoral College is the way we elect Presidents! perdurabo10.tripod.com/themindofjamesdonahue/id519.html

First of all, neither counties, square miles, cactuses, cows, tractors, nor trees vote. People do, and they were conveniently excluded from this propaganda. As for counties you will see that neither the populations of said counties nor the number of registered voters who actually voted in those counties were actually listed. Again, counties don't vote. The population category also does not note the amount of registered voters who voted, ergo, even if the population of all counties that voted for Gore was 127 million, that could mean all 127 million voted for Gore, whereas only half of the population in the counties won by Bush actually voted for Bush. These numbers are only placed there to deceive the eye. Again, "Fuzzy math." The last two categories are just stupid because again registered voters who actually voted are NOT listed in these statistics, which if they were, would prove Al Gore won the popular vote. Again, neither square miles nor states vote. People do, and more people voted for Gore. Jan

Thousands of people visit her Web site and participate in its reader forums. Now, Harris claims, the government wants our names, forum messages, and computer addresses." www.seattleweekly.com/features/0420/040519_news_blackboxvoting.ph p
