If the world's population was reduced to 100, it would look something like this....
You cold-hearted bastard.
Here's a little insight about my friend...she's French. 'nuff said.
It is interesting how they carefully avoid mentioning the political/economic/legal systems that the "miniature earthers" live under. As if that has no bearing on the other statistics. History shows that the rule of law, recognition of property rights, and keeping governmental corruption below critical thresholds are the essential preconditions for prosperity. Ignore these and all other efforts at improving the human condition are completely wasted.
It starts out that way and ends up trying to be a guilt trip. Yep, giving to the U.N. all these years has really put a dent in worldwide poverty.
It's amazing that the left never sees the consequences of their actions, and thereby advocates for more policies that lead to more poverty. Places like Africa and their assorted governments don't need money thrown at them, because the only ones who catch it are the ones keeping their citizens in poverty. They need freedom, and that can usually only be found within.
These days everyone
pretty much regards all facts
as provisional.
And I think we all
assume all presentations
have heavy bias.
All that being said
and just taken for granted,
it is nice to see
a presentation
that's well made regardless of
its propaganda.
