The Price of Human Life

Well, we wouldn't want kt to stop thinking this was his "fan blog" now, would we? hrmf.

I want to know how it is he can put a price on human life. According to a recent post, he's charging 25 grand for "offing" some rapist. How does he come to that number I wonder? Carolina appropriately pipes in by saying the value of a human being's life would be "priceless" in her view. I tend to agree.

So how does one decide what to "charge" for such a "service"? Is it based on the cost of the expenses to do the job plus an upcharge based on cost of living? Or is it some random number plucked out of kt's head? I'd like to know.

So here, kt, measure me. I'm a married, mother of a small child (under age 2) who lives in the suburbs of Chicago. I haven't committed any crimes. Hell, I haven't even had a speeding ticket in more than ten years! I tend to be quiet, but friendly to those people who are outgoing towards me. I do the shopping once or twice a week, but most of the time I'm at home with my son. In the evenings, my husband drives home from work and we have dinner and play with our son. We'll watch some television or do stuff on our computers before he goes to bed. Sometimes we'll even (gasp!) have sex. After he goes to sleep, I'm usually up alone until midnight. I have a reasonably simple, ordinary life. I haven't hurt anyone.

But, should someone want me dead for some odd reason, how much would it be to kill me, kt? How much is my life worth in your eyes?

Answer me that, and then I'll let you know how much value yours has in mine.
