exponentiation is not associative ...
what ever you were trying to show --
there was just too much "quoted" context
to configure that.
 
still, 1.0000... != 0.1111..., because
that's how it was defined (in base-two).
     hey, but you can stick with base-one,
if that ambiguity is too much for you!

thus:
if it's considered newsworthy to beat the deadhorse
of the aging Dan into the ground, because of stuff
that is basically unchallenged about Dubya's military career,
well, that's just the Liberal Media,
Owned by Conswervatives (but I Own the Trademark (tm) !-)

thus:
maybe you can *describe* some of those irregularities,
monsieur Bone. anyway, it seems to have happenned,
as I'd been warning at city council meetings & so forth,
that the touchscreens were a shill, since *all*
of the systems are tabulated by computer; apparently,
80% of the votes were tabulated by two companies,
ESS and Diebold, run by two brothers.... wish that
I'd read about that before the election.
      re Diebold, they sell Automated Teller Machines;
now, it isn't really a coincidence, that
these machines use the Asynchronous Transfer Mechanism,
or they used to. I had forgotten this,
til I happenned to notice one in front of a bank,
last week.

thus:
I'm "just a citizen," but I have to say that you're wrong
about the pollsters calling Florida in 2000, since
it was the TV network hacks who did.
     since March 27, 2000, all of the state parties can
change their bylaws with no federal oversight. as an example
of the sort of irregularities this has generated,
I offer ralfN's getting on the ballot in Florida,
with just a "conference call" by the Reform Party, instead
of a primary, as in 2000. now,
the only "reason" that the LAtribcoTimes gave
for the Florida Supremes allowing this, was that
they didn't want to mess with the USA Supremes; but, hey,
it was only 3 paragraphs.

thus:
it was George Shultx, the "godfather of the Leo-cons"
in the Dubya Cabinet, that took us off of the fixed rates
of exchange for the arbitrageurs. I'd thought that
Cheeny must have been working for him as "economic
advisor," which is all taht the Liberal Media ever say,
those two words, but he was really working for Rumsfeld
at the LBJ-holdover Office of Economic Opportunity. since
he left just before W'gate, he is a perfect candidate
as the source for the Washington Post, via Rumsfeld.... so,
can you get Greg Palast on the case ?!?
     part of that about the dollar is crap;
the "Fed" is modelled upon the English Fed,
brought-in by anglophile imperialist Wilson
with an "Act" of Congress, instead of a proper amendment
to the Constitution. anyway, if
the Buck falls another ten per cent against the Euro,
the UN-IMF will have to move, and we'll be
at the other end of that out-of-control beast -- reform, now!

thus:
too bad that Marx used the British definition
of "capitalism," which only means "the productive power
of labor per capita," and has nothing to do
with the "free trade" taht is controlled by the cartels
in London -- that we fought the Revolution against.

thus:
I do hate to gloat on this, but it's exactly
what I've been saying at city council meetings etc., that
"all of the extant systems are tabulated by computer,
anyway;" I quote a relevant passage from your link:
The results are shocking. Overall, Bush received 2% fewer votes in
counties with electronic touch-screen voting than expected. In
counties with optical scanning, he received 16% more. This 16% would
not be strange if it were spread across counties more or less evenly.
It is not. In 11 different counties, the &#8216;actual' Bush vote was
at least twice higher than the expected vote. 13 counties had Bush
vote tallies 50--100% higher than expected. In one county where 88% of
voters are registered Democrats, Bush got nearly two thirds of the
vote--three times more than predicted by my model.

thus:
The problem of concern, as the Constitution was being framed, is, how
do we make sure that some bum doesn't become President, and do like
George III of England, and start a war, all on his own, against even
his own people? So therefore, the most important of the checks and
balances, affecting the Presidency, is war powers: The President can
not go to war&#8212;he can conduct emergency action, under rules of
engagement, but he can not go to war without the consent of the
Senate, without the consent of the legislature. That's the most
important of the checks.
     This has been violated. It was violated with the consent of a
bunch of weak-kneed Congressmen who consented to allow George Bush to
go to war, illegally! As it turned out, he went to war, on the basis
of allegations which were fraudulent, largely organized by the Vice
President, who actually is the controller of the not-so-intelligent
President. And "not-so-intelligent" is a euphemism.

thus:
most of the oil-for-food oil went to the USA market,
thanks to the Administration's total policy on energy,
Caveat emptor, Suckers.
     Madeline Albright agreed with you,
that 500,000 Iraqi child deaths was worth it,
regarding the embargo under "no fly" conditions etc.
     now, let's see your analysis
of the John Hopkins study, re this war.

well, the Electoral Colleges can still do something.
see www.avagara.com/e_c -- which shows the ignorant basis
of the quadrennial slander of the Liberal Media,

thus:
a Florida appelate court, eh?
     did anyone see any story about ralfN getting on the ballot
with Florida Reform, by having a "conference call?"
     the 3-paragraph (AP?) story that I read
in the LAtribcoTimes didn't mention that
they'd gone from a primary to call, and
the only reason they gave for Florida Supreme's decision was,
"they didn't want to mess with the USA Supremes."
     actually, it was proabbly because
the party changed its bylaws, which has been legal
since March 27, 2000, when the USA Supremes turned-
down the appeal of LaRouche V. Fowler (Chair of DNC in '96).
     that certainly also caused Team Gore to do *nothing*
in Bush v. Gore v. Nadir, in the final arguments,
when Rhenquist gave them a "2-minute warning"
to use the Voting Rights Act, which they'd just gutted,
as according to Bugliosi's book on the case,
_None Dare Call It [that]_.

thus:
that's an impressive study. I just want to note,
re the mention of the exit-polling in Georgia (FSU),
that it was really quite an awful "intervention"
by George Soros and the Open Society Inst.,
that catapulted the "opposition" to victory, although
this says nothing about the accuracy of the polling.
(see http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2003/3047georgia_soros.html)
  
> > http://www.buzzflash.com/alerts/04/11/Unexplained_exit_poll_discrep_v00l.pdf
 
> And exit polls don't mean anything.
 
thus:
also, the "margin of error" seems to be used
to manipulate the outcome, since I assume taht
it's just "the average error is plus or minus 4 per cent,
if you call only 500 CAlifornians," or
"one standard deviation," although it can go way outside of that,
as with teh CNN/USAToday/Gallup poll
that shucked the Recall over the halfway mark. turns out that
they'd actually called 47% "R,"
when they were only 35% of registerd folks.
     the Voter News Service exit-polls apparently
were shut-down in 2002, because they weren't matching
with the polling-place polls, as in 2000, but
this was before the awful HAVA legislation was in effect.
