"   Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline
    University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, wrote about the
    2000 Presidential election between Al Gore and George Bush:
     
    Population of counties won by Gore 127 million -- by Bush 143
    million.
     
    Square miles of country won by Gore 580,000 -- by Bush
    2,427,000.
     
    States won by Gore 19 -- by Bush 29.
     
    Murder per 100,000 residents in counties won by Gore 13.2 -- by
    Bush 2.1 (not a typo).
     
    Professor Olson adds:  "The map of the territory Bush won was
    (mostly) the land owned by the people of this great country.
     NOT the citizens living in cities in tenements owned by the
    government and living off the government."  "
