How much is your life worth?

Remember that post where I mentioned that women's lives are worth 2/3rds of mens?

Well, according to the pay outs to families of 9/11 victims, it is not just based on your gender: you also are more valuable according to the paycheck you were already earning and your occupation.

So, we don't have classes in America, right?

51% of Republicans Are Delusional.

Okay, that's not exactly true.

But, according to Public Policy Polling that was released today, 51% of registered Republicans who vote in the primaries believe that Obama was not born in the US. If this is true (the sample size for the survey was only 400), then it's pretty scary.

So, who are these people who still can't accept that sometimes non-white people are born inside the United States? According to a 2009 survey, the majority of them are Republican (okay, no surprise there) and from the South.

So, is it more accurate for me to say that Republican Southerners are delusional? Well, probably not, but I sure am tempted.

Sometimes, it seems like we must be living in two different realities - two completely divergent universes. In one, Obama is an illegal immigrant, and in the other, he's our 44th president. It is a bizarre world we live in. Truly.
