Yes. Most rational human beings understand that the sun is green, as well.

I don't think my comment was vague. Everyone understands that it is impossible to verify every single vote, and nationwide election that comes down to a fraction of a percentage would be impossible to authenticate.

The 1824 election where the popular vote was split 41.4% (12 states), 30.9%(7 states), 13.0%(3 states), and 11.2%(2 states) is a good historical example. The framers of the constitution did not want to automatically give the presidency to the man with over 40% of the vote.

This photo is not particularly surprising from a data standpoint, but it is visually arresting.

They know planes, most live in cities away from rice paddies and they fly a lot in that area of the world

The "middle point" seems misleading when you consider the oceans with no population and Mongolia/Interior of China that are sparsely populated. CTU looks like more of a center-of-population.

Well Airbus has taken over 18,000 orders for planes in their history divided in the following categories.

26.7% Asia- Pacific
22.8% Leasing Firms (could be operated anywhere)
19.5% Europe
12.4% North America
6.0% Middle East
6.6% Latin America
3.4% UNDISCLOSED
1.4% Africa
1.2% Government, Executive Private

So clearly the portions of the world with money buy more planes relative to their population.

I'm just saying over the long haul people will require public transportation. Eventually an increasing percentage of those billion people in Africa will have to fly.
