Balance on Earth
God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found
him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired, "Where have you been?"
God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look,
Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call it
Earth and it's going to be a place to test Balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, "I'm still confused."
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. "For example, northern
Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern
Europe is going to be poor.
Over there I've placed a continent of white people, and over there is a
continent of black people. Balance in all things," God continued pointing to
different countries. "This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be
very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and
said, "What's that one?"
"That's Washington State, the most glorious place on earth. There are
beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and plains.
The people from Washington State are going to be handsome, modest,
intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will
be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, and they will be known
throughout the world as diplomats, carriers of peace, and producers of
software!."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about
balance, God? You said there would be balance."
God smiled, "There is another Washington. Wait till you see the idiots I put
there.

"That's Washington State, one of the wettest places on earth, where all the people are coffee-swilling, self-absorbed hardware and software types that worship this nerd named Gates and their pathetic college and professional sports teams. Imagine the life of a gopher and you can imagine how these sun-starved individuals live their lives.
Michael grimaced in disgust, but then asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance."
God smiled, "That would be California, the land of sunshine and many beaches -- and Disneyland! People in California are incredibly bright, sophistocated, fun, witty, well versed in current events, accomplished, urbane, sexy, beautiful, well dressed, well rounded, caring, and accomplished.

Did a delegation of Nobel prize winning geniuses recently move to DC to balance out WSB moving to PacNW? 
Harold has taken a desk job with the FAA doing project management and logistics. Skills he learned while in Indiana and working for Daimler-Chrysler.
He's in his late 20's, has a lovely wife, and they're expecting a boy early next year.
He leads a perfectly reasonable life, loves his new job, his new friends, and his modest, but nice home near Reston.
The point his, he's almost normal, and reasonably successful for his age. . .
. . . need more be said?
