Actually, it is Interesting to see just what venom is "projected" into one innocuous comment.
For your information and edification, I was thinking of that famous New Yorker cover artwork showing the country from a New York perspective, with the city streets of 9th, 10th, and 11th Avenues taking up 2/3 of thse cover, the rest of the country scrunched into 1/4 of the remaining space, with Japan in the far edge.
Google it, the print is available somewhere!
