In fact we might expand the rationale to something I once asked: in the event totally free economy ever came about, and transportation continued to get cheaper, would the total populus of the Earth eventually live in a narrow band centered on the equator? Alternatively, if the center of this band was too hot or the tilt of the Earth with respect to its orbit around the Sun required some correction, would we witness some other circular concentration of population, or perhaps two separate bands centered on a great (perhaps tilted) circle around the planet? -- Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], tel:+358-50-5756111 student/math+cs/helsinki university, http://www.iki.fi/~decoy/front openpgp: 050985C2/025E D175 ABE5 027C 9494 EEB0 E090 8BA9 0509 85C2
