Or perhaps there are two populations (rural/urban; rich/poor; educated/uneducated) and both have normal distributions. Either way I think we have at least two peaks to the political curve.

What if the distribution is bimodal? Then it would make sense for two ice cream trucks to be far apart.zmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435738243743797845noreply@blogger.com
