************* Nice catch. I didn't buy into that, either. The
only thing it could mean anyway is that we have the richest
people in the world. Comparitively speaking, the average for
the lowest amounts to zero.
And talking about "dark" events in the world, the United
States doesn't hardly rate an honorable mention in any kind
of competition.
If one considers an oppressive society is what it takes to
successfully host a noir world, I can think of a lot better
places than the United States. Most Muslim countries would
serve wonderfully. George Orwell's idea of a totalitarian
state pales in comparison to North Korea. Hell, as Ms Flinn
noted, tossing a dart at Asia or Africa is a good bet.
The moral implications of noir is an interesting topic.
