The Value of Life -

The Value of Life - Left-Style - I just read this quote from an Anti-Bush protester, who was busy blocking commuter traffic:

"The civilians in Iraq are losing their lives and one day of work is worth a thousand lives," said Leone Reinbold, an anti-war activist in San Francisco.

Figure the average worker in San Francisco earns about $60,000 a year - roughly $28 an hour. That means a typical day's work earns $230.77.

A thousand lives in exchange for a day at work, therefore, makes the value of one human life $0.23, according to Leone Reinhold, San Francisco leftist and, presumably, the rest of them as well.
