Editor: The Obama administration and the Statesboro Herald have made great hay of the statistic that women in the United States earn on average 77 percent of what men do, as if to demonstrate conclusively that women are discriminated against by their employers and that the Republicans are somehow responsible for such a situation. One can with equal accuracy and responsibility say that the temperature in Statesboro is 65 degrees — because 65 happens to be the annual mean temperature of our city. But, as we all know, the mean average of 65 degrees hides an incredible amount of variation in temperature and other climatic conditions that characterize our weather.
