By my reckoning there are 25 "E" states and 25 "C" states, the "C" states
being: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri,
Montana, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont.
What do "E" and "C" signify? |

C = creationism or whatever the latest government euphemism is.

Whether the capital city is near the Edge or the Center of the state.
(This is the first time I have seen New Jersey confused with West Virginia.)

Or maybe New Hampshire. Is Concord really at the edge? Is
Atlanta? Compared to Jackson, MS? Or Frankfurt, KY? Is it a
right-pondian perspective?
Anyway, congratulations Mark.

Often war is waged only in order to
show valor; thus an inner dignity is
ascribed to war itself, and even some
philosophers have praised it as an
ennoblement of humanity, forgetting the
pronouncement of the Greek who said,
"War is an evil in as much as it produces
more wicked men than it takes away."
--Immanuel Kant |

Damn. I was going to have a bet on Mark being the one to get this one. And
despite the rough-and-ready division into the two groups. Cheers.
