Chicago Magazine recently gave a report on the ratio of psychologists per 100,000 residents in each state. The highest ratio was in these states (from highest to lowest): Vermont, Minnesota, Massachusetts, New York, Colorado, Illinois, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. With the exception of Colorado, these were all blue states in the November election. Imagine that. And this is all the more enjoyable because the ten states with the lowest ratio of psychologists are all red states -- (from lowest to highest) Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Nevada, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Kentucky, and Indiana.

In our free-market economy, the number of psychologists is proportionate to the demand. And a big factor in that demand is blue folks suffering from PEST -- that clinical malady known as "Post-election Selection Trauma." It also occurred to us, here in Tennessee, that seven of the states with the lowest ratios of psychologists are south of the Mason-Dixon Line. The moral of the story, then, is don't become a blue Yankee!

Confirms my 1/3-1/3-1/3 theory.

1/3 of the country lives in a world of delusion.
1/3 of the country is indecisive.
1/3 of the country lives in reality and has established a core set of values.

And every election cycle the delusional fight it out with those who live in reality for the hearts and minds of the indecisive.

Boy do I love this thread. I had heard mention of it on the radio but had not seen the specifics.

I love your analysis but would beg to differ. I would drastically lower the delusional fraction, slightly increase those with a sound foundation and drastically increase the indecisive number.

However I will be quoting the ratios you've asserted as it's just a little more lyrical.

Abortion on demand is delusional thinking. The most recent Gallup poll on this topic has 24% of American thinking a women has the right to destroy her unborn child for any reason. So is it that far of a reach to think that an additional 9% are delusional on other topics like reasoning away the need to fight terrorisim.

I seem to recall from the 2000 Election was that the states that went for Gore were also the states where the most pornography was bought/used/produced. Looks like that stayed true in '04. Twisted Evil
