So then walk into a crowded theater and shout "fire". Then let's check your right to free speech again. :-) It would be legitimate speech if there really were a fire. Yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater, however, has no value in communication other than to cause a stampede and probable violence and personal injury. Unless, of course, there's a fire. Let's take the example of students mooning a deputy sheriff in NC. They were arrested, charged, and convicted. The judge who sentenced them said in opposition to their argument of free speech that there were exceptions and this was one. But on appeal the higher court overruled the trial court and stated that the students could not be tried under any criminal theory, including indecent exposure. #m -- Buck Fush! ---- Oh, wouldn't I like to Blush Fush. |

See http://store.aetv.com/html/product/i...wseCategoryId= True, several attributes of the action design are what remains most memorable and copied to this day, however, it is equally correct to say that Mauser was a rifle design. It certainly wasn't a caliber, which is what was the OP implied, and if you had have a brain you would have known that. Matt |

... Have you been this deluded for a long time or is it something that happened recently? Polls are statistics, not facts. Polls are facts about statistics. Are you claiming that the Gallup poll does NOT substantially describe the working knowledge of people who supported Bush? If so, you're attempting to contradict centuries of well-established statistical science. Sounds to me like it's you that's deluded. |

Wow, I've flown south along the west edge of the Washington area (probably 40 miles from Dulles) and had that many planes called out on one flight! Matt |

I'd say just the opposite. Polls are statistics about facts. Are you claiming that the Gallup poll does NOT substantially describe the working knowledge of people who supported Bush? If so, you're attempting to contradict centuries of well-established statistical science. Yes, most of these polls have significant biases. Sounds to me like it's you that's deluded. You need a new hearing aid then. Matt |

![]() He said "OF COURSE the exit polls showed Kerry ahead early in the day -- all the Republicans work for a living, and couldn't vote till after 6 PM!" The funny part is that is exactly right. |

This is a prime example of the ignorance of so many people. The exit polls on election day were actually amazingly accurate. What many people like you should learn before you start spouting off is what actually happened. Results from the exit polls was leaked before the polls were complete, i.e. around 3 or 4 pm, before the polls were closed. No, it's not "spouting off." Those exit polls are what are routinely released to various news outlets *during* the polling. If it were a matter of waiting until the polls closed, there'd be little value to an exit poll since the ballots would soon be counted, anyway. -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer http://www.pocketgear.com/products_s...veloperid=4415 ____________________ |
