Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think household income makes more sense.

Especially since wealth was conclusively household. Either way, I see the old money folk laughing. Or having their staff laugh for them.

I know a ton of people watching, but we must have been it!

I didn't. I'm sorry. I'm sure I'd have enjoyed it too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Exactly, erika! That was a hefty tome to get to the end of and not know what the point was.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I didn't. I'm sorry. I'm sure I'd have enjoyed it too.

I blame you.

What is even happening?

It may be circumstantial and open to interpretation, but I don't think it's absent.
But what is it? I'm not saying it's not there -- I'm saying I haven't seen it, and asking for it.
The main reason I think it is absent is that for a while at the beginning, I was waiting for it to either be confirmed, or to be debunked (I was betting on the second as a plot twist).

I thought the season was going to be a more explicit condemnation of U.S. foreign policy.

Also, for me it was important not to jump to the conclusion that because a number of the higher up terrorists are sort of swarthy, they must be Muslim. Salon worked their piece from the angle of showing how this wasn't a realistic plot -- from the nukes, to the football, to the power plants to the blonder characters having such crucial roles in a religious jihad. But it was largely because apparent outsiders (ex US marines, etc.) had such prominent roles, that I thought this was going to not be a religious jihad story at all, and since I can't remember confirmation of it, I'm still wondering.

Oh well, sexy whispering and torture are still all right by me.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

not quite sure how to calculate wealth. what my house( and stuff) is worth- or what dollars I would get for my stuff if sold? or just cash on hand?

Hee, JohnSweden. I remember that site.

I couldn't find mother or housewife on the job list. I picked childcare worker by default, but that didn't work for me. I also don't get any income, so I took half of what Scott makes to fill out that one. I think I'm high on wealth (I didn't subtract what we owe from what we own, is that wrong?) and education, and more solidly middle on income and occupation.

After I did the class calculator thing for myself, I did it for my best friend.

She is totally in the top fifth.

The only place where I am is education -- and this makes sense because college is where we met.

Anyway, doing this made me sad, so I don't recommend it.
