On the earlier topic of Dems=Smart, Repugs=Stupid, that whole idea is silly. The single biggest indicator of whether you will vote for a Democrat or a Republican is proximity to the center of a large city. The closer you are to the center of a large city the more likely you are to vote for a Democrat, and the further you are out in the hills the more likely you are to vote for a Republican, it's as simple as that. To say Dems are smarter means that you think city folk are smarter than rural people, which is absurd. As a percentage I'm sure there are just as many really stupid city people as their are really stupid country people. Genetics don't change just because you live in a high rise.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
