Received some interesting stats here from a like-minded buddy:
<<Here's a refreshing way of looking at the country's political divisions:
With the Blue States in hand, the Democrats have firm control of 80% Of the country's fresh water, over 90% of our pineapple and lettuce, 92% of all fresh fruit production, 93% of the artichoke production, 95% of America's export quality wines, 90% of all cheese production, 90% of the high tech industry, most of the US low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools,plus Amherst, Stanford, Berkeley, CalTech and MIT.
We can live simply but well.
The Red States, on the other hand, now have to cope with 92% of all US mosquitoes, 99% of all tornadoes, 90% of all hurricanes, 88% of all obese Americans (and their projected health care cost spike), 99% of all Southern Baptists, 100% of all Televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.
A high price to pay for controlling the presidency.
Additionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually eaten by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or preemptive war, 44% believe that evolution is just a theory, 53% that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11 and, most difficult of all to grasp, 61% believe that George W. Bush is a person of moral conviction.>>
