>You have to watch Texans who run for political office – even those born in Connecticut. A documentary about how LBJ first ran for office was interesting. LBJ ran against an old time Texas politician and lost by a large margin. In fact there were more votes cast then there were registered voters. How can that be?

>Well, the fact is that many of the votes for the Texas politician were from deceased voters. When LBJ ran again against the same person, “he made sure that he had more votes from deceased voters than his opponent”!

Remember that funny guy, Gogol... "Dead souls"? He wrote SF that wouldn't come true in his country, but there IS a land where dreams come true :).
