: Mike, Americans are a wonky lot. Many have a single issue that mesmerizes

Hi Charlie,
Yup, a wonky lot, I are one. :)
The single issue thingy is common to all democracies, we have it here too.
US elections look simpler to figure than what we have, proportional representation. Have fun working that one out.
I can work out displacements in my head if I have the coefficients for a hull type, it keeps me occupied when I'm walking, but I still can't work out PR.
