It’s a shame most of the voting population in this city were too old by the time New Math was introduced. The people who voted for Larry O’Brien would have understood that zero does not in fact mean zero. This works in much in the same way that 50 Km per hour really means 70 Km per hour and 100 KM per hour really means 120 Km per hour.
