I am a great believer in the OHIO principle: Only handle it once. When you read an e-mail, decide whether or not to reply to it, and, if you need to reply, do so right then and there. I have found that about 80 percent of all e-mails, whether internal or external, do not require a response.

In the ordinary Plurality Voting, say as used in electing Congressmen, we generally only ask for the first choice. But, in principle, we could ask for more choices.
There is no principle involved in my holdout. Only money.
No man will treat with indifference the principle of race.

Language and religion do not make a race--there is only one thing which makes a race, and that is blood.
