There are 6 billion people in the world. about 5 billion of them are below the U.S. defined poverty line. I would bet you that if given the chance virtually 90% of those 5 billion and about 50% of the other 1 billion would, indeed, come to the U.S. if given the chance. So I think your "billions" claim above is, simply, wrong. > > > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, off_world_beings <no_reply@> > > wrote: > > > > > > The path to 9/11 and other myths. > > > > > > All I heard about this is that it is not historically accurate, > and > > > historians have asked for it to be pulled, and that it was > > > orchestrated by some right wing shennanigans in Holywood > > > > > > It would not surprise me that it is not accurate.
