Because people see it this way: Q: Why do you stay in a race that you have lost mathematically? A: I'm hoping someone will shoot the black guy. The fact that Bill Clinton had indeed wrapped up his race before June and that Jerry Brown, had dropped out to preserve party unity leeds people to dismiss that part of the statement. -- The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us. -Paul Valery, poet and philosopher (1871-1945) _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
