Well the equator divides the orb of this planet in half. Geographically speaking 1/2 the world is north and 1/2 south of the equator.
Define your terms, wasn't it Voltaire who told folks to do that? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of hans Sent: Sunday, December 24, 2006 9:57 AM To: 'The Horn List' Subject: RE: [Hornlist] Happy Holidays Bill, you are wrong, most of the worlds population lives north to the equator, ooops. 1,3 bn chinese, 1,1 in India, Middle East, Far East (Japan, Korea), Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, all Arab countries, North Africa, all Europe, Canada, USA, Mexico, all former Soviet Countries, about a billion left for the southern hemisphere ! ============================================================ ============================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Gross Sent: Sunday, December 24, 2006 3:23 PM To: 'The Horn List' Subject: RE: [Hornlist] Happy Holidays It's easy to celebrate near the equator, as they say, "been there done that." It's the state of mind you bring. Half the world faces Christmas time in the middle of Summer anyway. Christmas tends to bring out the best in a lot of folks. It's that one time when we stop and think about how we can live life, not how must of us do face it. It we didn't have Christmas, we'd have to invent it, just to remind ourselves that we can treat our fellow man with care, respect, and common hope for a better world. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Canarutto Sent: Sunday, December 24, 2006 8:14 AM To: The Horn List Subject: RE: [Hornlist] Happy Holidays >Coincidentally, X-mas falls near to the calendarian end of the year, >even nearer to the solstice, which might give it a reason for >not-Christians also to celebrate, that days are getting longer again, >but it is opposite at the other >(dawn) side of the globe, where they celebrate, that it is getting >cooler again.
