Thanks Bill, I'd actually forgotten about 74121s etc. but I think an crystal + PLD may be a bit overkill,

SAT scores have no direct relation to % correct.

But let's hope the relationship is at least monotonic.

In the "Who Really Cares" book, there's a pair of USA maps. One shows the states where people are most generous, in terms of charity, blood donations, volunteerism, that sort of thing. The other map is the states that voted for Kerry. They are almost exact complements.

Cripes!

You expect mismanagement as standard. Having poor mismanagement must really suck.

What sort of Mismanagers are schools turning out these days?

You persist in seeing things in the most simple minded terms. What does that tell us about you?

That I believe in causality?

That the most self-declared-liberal people I've known were also the meanest to real people around them?

OK, what's your, more nuanced, explanation for the mappings?

John Larkin wrote in news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com:

Ah, aren't you confusing liberal with libertarian? I think there is a difference.

That neither right nor left wing voters are a single block of identical persons. What happened to the 'wide tent' the right keeps proclaiming?

What makes you think the methodology used in the survey accurately describes the claimed result?

Practical experience would suggest that those who do the bulk of the work in helping the afflicted are as different from the Hollywood elite you hate as the conservatives of the mid west are from the Cheneys and Rumsfelds of the world.

Actually, there is no claimed result; just two maps. But I am pretty good at pattern matching, as most engineers are.

Hate? Have I ever expressed hate for anyone?

You are projecting. I don't even hate you.

I think when he says "self-declared-liberal" he's excluding Libertarians by default. A "self-declared-liberal" is just a Socialist in a Democrat suit, just like a "neoconservative" is a Nazi in a Republican suit.

Find out how libertarian you are:

Oh, this guy didn't need to go to any school, because he already knew everything. ;-)

Libertarians seem to have the core political belief "I want to be left alone." That's not as agressive as a classic angry liberal, but it's not real supportive, either.

John

By degrees. Traditional liberals are libertarians too.

They can still hone their skills through training though.

Modern political liberalism has come a long way from libertarian roots. It's more evolved (partly through unionism) from the communist manifesto of taxation and lawmaking as tools of class warfare. At least we don't use gulags much any more.

The popular vote and mass communications have commoditized most classic political philosophies.

"Liberalism is a mental disease" ;-)

Or a symptom. Read "Who Really Cares." You'd like it.
