Indeed®. My only niggling query is why, in the credits, was there no mention that the text was all culled from a mass circular from a year or two back? It was sent out, I think, by either Amnesty Int or Oxfam - it also included such factoids that in the hypothecated community of 100 souls, the 8 who would own the vast majority of world wealth would *all be citizens of North America.
[politics alert]
That is why those of us who count ourselves as world citizens in the 21st century must never allow America to sleep too comfortably in its cosy make-believe world of cost-free endless opportunity. See Mr Bush's latest response to Kyoto, for example.
