I think that the biggest argument against Light was not his choice of weapon at all, but that him attempting to eradicate evil made him just as evil as the people he killed. That's assuming one believes it's a crime to kill any person, regardless of their deeds, some feel differently (death penalty supporters, for example). That coupled with the fact that Light was doing this and crowning himself God is what turned me against him, personally.

But yeah, I did always wonder about Misa's lifespan. If I remember correctly, Light died in 2010, and as Tummer said in the OP, Misa died in 2011. If she was born in 1984, that'd mean she was 26 at the time of Light's death, 27 at the time of her own. According to the Death Note wiki (which may be inaccurate of course), Misa's parents died in 2003, and she was attacked by the stalker in 2004.
So her original lifespan was supposed to be a mere 20 years. So, post-Gellus (think that's the Shinigami that killed the stalker? Can't remember) killing, her lifespan was about:
20 * 2 = 40
40 * 2 = 80

80 years, meaning he added 60.

Now for the years added due to Rem killing L.
Misa had only done the eye deal once at the time (iirc), so her life expectancy was about 40 years. L is killed in late 2004. Since Misa would only live for another 6 years, the second eye deal means that she would have before Rem's death lived another 12. So Rem only added 12 years to Misa's life span.

This doesn't factor in her birthday, the fact that I make idiot mistakes in math, or that I don't remember the rules of the Death note very well, lol.

Yeah, but I do not assume that, particularly with leaders. When you have had a taste of power and used it violently on a mass scale, I would have little problem with at least threatening someone with death in order to control them. My main complaint with Light was that he ignored corruption itself and went after people being hunted by the police instead. Murderers and thieves do very little damage when compared to governments across the board, so I think that he could have done far better than he did in his target range, at the very least.

I kind of liked him for the god part, though. It is what makes me lean towards him as more to my character than L. His ego...
