One thing I do not believe that women can hear better then men.

And another fact on Gore Bush.
Average earning voters for Gore $36.000.
Average " " " " " Bush $64.000.
I can't see how they find all this out.
And of course the big number Gore over 1/2 mill more votes then Bush. I still think Mc Cain would be better then either.

DTB, you just gave me a idea. Wonder if a person had a bad week. If they could pay off the book in food stamps. If that was the case a person could try to sign up for them.
