 WD> You have a PhD in math?

   Plus physics, astronomy and pedagogy as my majors, yes. I intended to become 
a high-school professor. But first the military (12 months of mandatory 
conscription) and then my first-born child came in between. Suddenly I rather 
became a provider.

 WD> I have friends ...

   I still hope you count me in?  8-)

 WD> It was a crowd that got Trump in office.

   Far from a statistically appropriate one. That's what sortition could have 
solved much better than the supposedly democratic election did.
