I've been more or less aware of politics since the Johnson-Goldwater election of '64 and I have to say it has always been the case that elections come down to the lesser of two evils. It's the nature of electoral politics, I guess, especially if you're not a single-issue voter, as you say, Larry.<br><br>

My second favorite museum is the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. I had not been in ages and went this past fall. What a makeover with the Hall of Oceans. I could spend a week in the rooms that have all the species laid out on the family tree. Going there as a kid I remember being bored looking at the stuffed animals behind smudged glass. The glass and the dioramas have been impressively redone.<br><br>My first favorite is across the park. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has more French Impressionism paintings then the d 'Orsay in Paris. Probably 3 times more. <br><br>I love Boston but the museums and the restaurants in Manhattan remind me why New Yorkers think Boston is "quaint".<br><br><br><br>

They did a terrific job on the renovations. Did you get to the Rose Space Center?I've had a membership there since I moved to NYC, and visit several times a year. But one of my new fav's is the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Aother major overhaul, and some great shows. And MoMAs almost ready to move back to Manhattan, too — temporarily relocated to Queens during renovations.<br><br>

These, I believe, are mutually exclusive. <br><br>

Well I'm quite certain there is a strong correlation between education and liberal leaning, so are you implying computer scientists are ignorant and republican? Let it be known that I didn't say anything about a relationship between those two characteristics. <br><br>

Just tried to see it at the corner cinema. 8:15 show was already sold out! <br><br>

Well I'm quite certain there is a strong correlation between education and liberal leaning,<br><br>But I know a lot of well educated people who are conservative leaning.<br><br>

I've no doubt there is a strong correlation between "educators" and liberal leaning. But there's a difference between being educated and being smart.<br><br>I made no implication about the intelligence of computer scientists. They may be brilliant in their field but that, like gene hackers or dentists, gives them no additional qualifications.<br><br>Dwight Eisenhower once said, "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than he needs to say more than he knows." I've no argument with that.<br><br>
