Recent public informationhas be released documenting the number of elderly people in Alaska who have died because of the lack of implementation of certain "elder care" policies by the Palin administration. 254 Alaskans died, mostly under her watch, out of a population of 686,293.
Extrapolation can put things into perspective for a big city boy like me. Last September 1,500 Anchorage, Alaskan women turned out and rallied against Palin on women's rights; in NYC, population to population, this translated to a nice-sized rally of 44,798 people.
Let me introduce something called "arithmetic." It has to do with multiplying and dividing: If Palin were your governor, find out the the number of people in your state (the google is good, no?) who would be dead in your state (- works for towns, too, and apartment buildings!) Multiply that number by .00037 (254/686,293), and wonder of wonders, your own personal death ratio! Here's a couple of freebies: California, 13,603. NYC, 3,071.
Please note: this is a bitter, bile filled rant against these types, these phonies and frauds who deprive people of their rights to the death.
This is not snark, nor irony, nor am I trying to be facetious.
