I honestly cannot understand what the fuss is about. I am not a mormon, and could care less whether they posthumously baptize me, my family, or anyone else who lives on their planet with them. Want to know why? Because I don't believe that what they are doing has any meaning whatsoever. Go ahead, put a hex on me. Who cares?

I understand the thesis you are trying to support. It is not a bad argument to point out red state/county dependence on the government hand that they spurnn. But please clarify if the poverty level used in this chart is adjusted for the cost of living in different areas. Arguably a certain income in Seattle might be considered a poverty level but that same real income could provide a comfortable lifestyle in another, perhaps rural, county.

I think you are smart enough to figure things out for yourself, that's why we teach both abstinence education and all forms of birth control....oh wait! damn!

@35 15 days? did you just pull that number out of your ass?

Jul 29, 2011 AndK. commented on The $2 Trillion Coin Solution.

Actually, Ron Paul actually had a good idea (and I am generally not a huge fan of his). The Fed can forgive about $1.7 trillion of debt that it is owed by the Treasury (essentially money that we owe ourselves) to give us a little breathing room. http://caucuses.desmoinesregister.com/20…

Of course, that simply puts off the day of reckoning. I don't really believe that DC would solve the problem without a deadline, so we might as well act while the gun is to our head (metaphorically) than do it again down the road and continue the ridiculous distraction from what the government really needs to be doing (does anyone think that there are any jobs programs in the pipeline?)

but I actually like 2x10=20 and 2x11 = twenty too

(4) 2 x10 base 2 = 2 x 11 base 1=4

Why isn't Light Rail a "highway purpose"? Yes, I know that it isn't a "highway," but its purpose is to take cars off of the highway and thereby allow cars to move faster or allw additional cars that previously would not have been able to use the highway--because of congestion--but instead would have gone around to make use of the shorter bridge span. That is the equivalent of "widening the highway" for all practical purposes. I think with some creative lawyering--and I know that the state government is full of them--we could get around that provision.

If they sell lube, they will clean up (well metaphorically anyway!)

Feb 25, 2011 AndK. commented on Income Inequality in the United States.

Not to throw water on your fire (because I don't disagree with the point you are trying to make), but you are equating income with wealth. Those are two very different things. I would guess that the country's wealth is much more skewed than the country's income, comparatively. Wealth incluces inherited money and investment appreciation and it can accrue or decrease over time, but is fairly stable. Income inequality is the money one makes from employment, owning a business, etc. Ovbviously there is a relation between the two, but conflating the two just confuses the point that (I think that) you are trying to make. I would think that the chart would show a different distribution for income, and it seems that is a greater concern to the average person (presumably why so many oppose the estate tax even though it will never affect them--of course in light of the inability of the Federal Government to raise rates on the top income earners, or even fix the ridiculous hedge fund manager loophole, I could be wildly mistaken on that).
