You can accurately make a blanket generalization of 300 million people with a sample of less than 1000. Depends on your definition of accurate. And it depends on what you are generalizing about the population. If the characteristic you are generalizing isn't normally distributed or doesn't fit some other known distribution, then you sample tells you next to nothing. Matt |

... I believe that the Constitutional process should actually be followed instead of trampled on. The constitution is being followed. Adjourning the constitutional convention was lawfully accomplished by a vote of the legislature. Parliamentary maneuvering has always been a routine part of the constitutional process. Massachusetts' gay marriage is supported by the majority of the state's population and all three branches of government (when the governor-elect takes office). Elections have been held since same-sex marriage began, and the number of legislators supporting equal marriage rights has increased, not decreased. The democratic process is working just as it should here to protect equal rights under the law. So if another Court says that same sexes cannot marry, that would be true democracy too, right? No, just as the Dred Scott decision was not an example of true democracy. Court decisions in a democracy are *supposed to* protect individual and minority rights against tyranny of the majority, but they do not always do so. --Gary |

Ok. You win.
mike "Jessica Taylor" wrote in message ... That would be hard to do when there is nothing to google for. You made the statement, you cannot support it with facts, and your only defense is to tell someone else to try supporting your statement. |

Well, at least I didn't call a charter owner a cheap SOB employer.

It scares him, so he'd rather keep things the same for as long as possible. How 'liberal' of you. Just spew out personal insults and ad-hominem attacks. Maybe then they could become true, you don't need any facts. |

Look in the mirror.
mike "Jessica Taylor" wrote in message ... mike regish wrote: Used to be, I could talk to anybody-even a republican. Since Bush Jr., as soon as sombody declares themselves a republican, the conversation's over. That's one thing I really thank Bush Jr. for. He's made it crystal clear what his party's about. Apparently what his party's about is getting you to show your true colors: such powerful narrow-minded intolerance for others that have other points of view that you cannot even communicate. |

I know. He just exposed them. They've always been like that. They just hid
it better. mike "Matt Whiting" wrote in message ... George Bush didn't magically change all Republicans, or even the party, all by himself in the span of 6 years. Matt |

Or...do I? mike "Jessica Taylor" wrote in message ... And of course the most irrational is the one who like to spew out the bigotry/racist claims. |
