how to tell if someone voted for bush or not…
i’ve read a lot of discussions over the last couple days in which democrats have been looking for an explanation for the election results. one common question that piqued my interest: is there a relationship between intelligence/education and party affiliation? there is a (dubious) breakdown of election results by average iq, and you can take that for what it’s worth.
after reading these discussions, and using the men’s room in stauffer, a further question came to my mind: is there a correlation between the washing of one’s hands in the washroom and party affiliations? this came to mind as i correctly identifying a non-hand-washer in advance. i’m willing to bet that there is, but i’ll leave the actual proof as an exercise for the reader.
i think it’s a well known fact that intelligent/educated people don’t always have a lot of common sense, and i think that extends to handwashing. i can’t find a link to it, but i remember during my undergrad in micro we talked about a study done at an american society of microbiology annual conference. they had poor poor students in the washrooms recording handwashing frequency. it was shockingly low, something like 30%, and that was among MICROBIOLOGISTS!! maybe they were all republicans though… who knows?

i bet they’d all vote for bush too. you should ask them.
