    I was studying deep mines of the world and on the South African site, this popped up.

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/locomotive-crushes-105-gold-miners-1619145.html

    The deepest gold mines on Earth are located in South Africa. I was also reading that in 1995, a run-away mine locomotive crashed through 4 safety barriers, tumbled into an elevator shaft where it forced the elevator to the bottom of the shaft, killing 104 miners. I mention this to urge you to study other parts of the world.

    Now check the map of the USA today.

    We should make sure to distribute these two maps to those outside the country so they knew the truth.

    I figured the maps did a stunning job showing the point.

    Migrants might ask, why go to the USA? This makes it seem dumb to come here.

    I think the pre-civil war African immigrants got the worst deal of all. You almost want to feel sorry for them.

    why? coming here at any time was better than staying in Africa. Thomas Sowell calls it a very successful immigration and he has studied all the world's immigration.

    Successful immigration if you take into account NBA millionaires and Apple store flash mobs I guess.

    I'm saying Michael Jordan and Oprah Winfrey are not typical of descendants of former slaves in the US.

    Well they're a lot better off than the immigrants to the USA in 1900 that's for damn sure.

    Did you see my earlier figures about Australia? That looks to me as if they make a lot more income.
