The world in 100 people. Be thankful.

 "if you have a bed, a roof over your house, if you have a closet.  Congratulations. you are richer than 75% of all the people in the world. This is not just conjecture, it is reality based on facts, numbers and statistics" - Economics Professor.

There is research that shows us what the world would look like if it was only made up of 100 people.  The result is astonishing. More than that it really makes you thankful for the blessings in your own life.   Take a look at this video.  Before you start, be somewhere quiet. Preferably with someone you can hug. 

What should you take from all this?  Be thankful, the world is bleak. 

Law is a messy dirty thing.

"We tend to think of law as this pristine fair thing, but its not.  You have to remember that law is conceived by  politicians.  It's a messy dirty thing." -PoliSci Constitutional Law Professor

Law is a messy dirty thing. We tend to create walls between what we consider law and what we consider politics. There really is no division, just the ones we create in our own minds.  Law is created by politicians, its their child. It is not black and white, nor pristine and pure, though we aspire it to be.
