I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Seriously, what does the map represent?
Human development index by US state, oddly enough.

I don't know what that means. :(
I guess your story about living in Missouri checks out.

You can wiki it, or you can just read the pertinent info that I pulled from wiki in the post right above the one you quoted.

Yeah, DDL was awesome in that movie.

It'd be really cool to be able to do that thing he does with his eye with the end of a knife, but you could only do it once.
Twice, if you're an idiot.

Since maps seem to be in vogue, here is a human development index map for US states:



It appears that 19 of the 20 states with the most developed humans voted for Obama.  :hmm:  Maybe all underdeveloped humans migrated away from the North?

Or more probable, given internal migration patterns, the "human development index" is bollocks.

A friend of mine said something interesting on this topic.
He is a totally by the book whiny student socialisty sort and I don't agree with him but- he says the point of affirmitive action is bigger than individuals, its not about helping black kids, its about creating a society where poor black kids can see role models of succesful black people.
I can see his point but...yeah, as I've said I'd base it on socio-economic stuff rather than race.
