what is the difference between watchung and allaire? i'd guess about 15 million people within 20 miles? anyone have the census data and can whip that up for me?

additionally, i would avoid using terms like, 'your goals make you blind to the reality' - since constructed reality is dependent on experiences, we all only have one base to build on.....
