"What if you can find one honorable man?" (Abraham)-

Wasn't it Lot? - and no, one honorable man was not found so the point became moot.

I would have to argue for the "Heinlein" alternative to educating yourself before voting.  Yes, DO educate yourself but, if it becomes bothersome just ask some well-intentioned fool how they voted (there are always many to be found near polling places) and cancel their vote by selecting opposing choices.

Technicly I believe they stoped at 5.

And yes Lot was the one honorable man.

I do not recall with prophet is was but the phrase "Even if these three men Noah, Daniel and Job... I would not destroy." reflects the influence even a minority can have in preserving a group.

Somewhere deep inside me I believe there are still honorable people in the US.

It is that same feeling I had when, in the very early days of the forums, I spent week-ends answering questions, hoping that if we just got it started others would join in.

Yes, I do believe that 5 honerable men was the suggested lower limit to preserve a society.  tst can probably handle trivia about that area better than I so I'll stick to trivia about the upper Mississippi river.

Doh!

As many times as I have read Christian lecturing that "Interpolations works but extrapolation doesn't" (paraphrased) I never seen to learn.

before the day of the hypno-boxes (TV) telling people what they should think and defending who they want to win the effects of the non-educated probably just introduced statstical noise and did not make a diference. But under the influence of the box their effect is no longer just noise but it introduces a false offset into our measurements.

I understand that before my time they used to ask the news people to tell us what happened. Then some idiot asked them what they thought about it and the rest is history.

Jordan how can I quote mobile?

Hey Jeff,

Currently the quote feature is not included in the mobile experience. I believe this was a tradeoff for UI space. I've voted for the already existing idea to implement the feature though.

Thanks for the feedback - adding it to the list of features we'd like to see implemented in mobile.

I'd actually be happier if I could get my virtual keypad to pop on the full version and I wouldn't need to switch to the mobile at all

On mine, I can hold the menu button to pop-up and pop-down the on-screen kbd.  If you've got a bluetooth keyboard paired to the device and you touch a text entry field, the kbd still pops up, holding the menu button will make it go away but you're still able to type on the BT kbd and reclaim some of your screen real-estate.
