locksmith would never have suggested the idea in the first place, since his
maximum utility would be achieved by having different locks on every door, since
in that case when someone lost their key they'd have to call
him.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

MINIMIZING the "landlord utility." The more keys the landlord needs to maintain,
the higher the expected revenue received by the locksmith.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

own utility to maxmize the landlord's is so far off the credibility scale that
it is not worth considering even as an analogy, and the rest of the story is
just right-ring propoganda<SPAN class=684552222-26122007> that has nothing to do
with election methods.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
