wow: if you have an interest in seeing world patterns develop over the past 44 years, I strongly suggest you check out this video on Myths about the developing world.

that’s something to think about for sure.
the home page of the organization he represents is “Gapminder.org”–as in “mind the gap” around the world data. pretty impressive array of data.
