some facts about the usa
i liked tertia's facts about south africa so much that i'd thought i'd offer you 3 of my own about my own country:
1% of the population of america controls 47% of the wealth
19% of the population of america controls 44 % of the wealth.
80% (the majority of the country) of the population of america controls the remaining 9% of the wealth.
just think what could happen of the 80% that controls 9% of the wealth decided to rise up and take a few percentage points of wealth back from the 1%ers and the 19%ers. i think they'd be pissed.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
