other comments: heart disease mortality; with GDP and life expectancy

i) the overall pattern is of interest: a non-random, top/bottom Rep/Dem pattern is seen
ii) the Rep/Dem means are a SD apart: the t-test indicates systemic bias or different Sample populations
iii) And ... there are the questions:
Why are the Republican states always on the 'negative' side of the metrics? (excepting 'missing persons')
and
... how did 150 million voters separate the fifty states in such a distinct manner?
iv) The systemic bias: is it genetic in origin? or is it a consequence of environmental factors?
v) Which begs the question: what would be the environmental factors which result in the differentiated data?

The majority of murders where demographic information is recorded are committed by black people and there's also an incredibly strong correlation to being young too. Young people and blacks aren't exactly right-leaning demographics.

It's pretty reasonable to assume that a significant majority of murders are committed by Democrats.

A big part of why I bring up the guns is that if we pacify society we become that much further away from being able to solve the root issues.

Disarmament in most european countries, Australia, Canada etc was done in a certain way.

They got universal healthcare first, they got groundwork for a civilized society first and then disarmed later. I think that's an important distinction to make.

But perception is power is important when it comes to bringing people to the negotiation table. People who are powerless don't get negotiations they get steamrolled.

Personally, as a weightlifter with protein goals I find it easier and more practical to look at a diaas chart, than to research the amino acid profile of grains or legumes to see if the combination yields a higher bioavailability. For me it ends up as: if I'm eating lentils I'll eat a bit more taking into account not all the aminos are there
