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?
