Dale,
What’s the German word for, I told you so, suckah! I agree that it’s not quite schadenfreude, but it’s pretty darned close. Oh, it appears to be “Ich habe es dir gesagt, Trottel” That comes off the tongue pretty good, too. If invective is what one is after, it’s hard to beat german.

Assume Russ feels that same way I do, I would clarify that I do not "take delight in the suffering of another". Rather that I hope that a population that is making horrible choices will directly experience the consequences of those choices, and thus perhaps reconsider them. Unfortunately, there will also be a lot of collateral damage, but "natural selection" has always been a blunt instrument...

But in fact, that's what I'm hoping for.

See if the difference between those regression coefficients carries even more information than the separate values.
