It has been brought to my attention that people are not particularly interested in listening to my long, boring rants. I don’t take it personally, when I’m the one drunk off the kool-aid at a party I don’t want to hear whining from sober people about suspicious substances, imminent death, poison control and all that kind of nonsense.

So, I will try a more multimedia approach to showing us how absurd our perceptions of the world around us really are.

In what is the first in a series of a few places, I present “The World”, as viewed by a typical wealthy resident of Los Angeles (America doesn’t do “socialism” anyway so no one gives a damn what the poor think)

And just in case my LA friends think I’m picking on them, just you wait for my plans for NYC and Toronto maps….

I’m too lazy to do all the math, but a breakdown
- Maybe 1-2% of the world’s population lives in the areas i’ve shaded reddish.
- 15-20% of the world’s population lives in the “cold” areas
- the remainder in the grey areas

Don’t ask me why parts of America are brownish or green. There was somewhere I was going with that…
