First, there's one in each column that's actually a right. The rest is just sour cream on the baked potato.
Second, when you get it down to 1-for-1, there's only one of those that really concerns a minority in control.

Hell, if you own property in certain parts of CA you're a millionaire. I guess by that standard both my sister and I are millionaires, and my father was born on a fricken farm in Iowa.

Somebody's never been to Kentucky. Or Mississippi. Or Alabama. Or Tennessee*. Or Arkansas. Or Georgia.
