Richard Wilson4 said:I can't stand it when they advertise products and then some representative talks about the "region" while showing a map of the old union, leaving out Canada and including Albania...
Fine, let them have their representation, but I hate seeing those kinds of maps on PBS...
But that’s just how it goes. Atlantic trade distributes everything everywhere in America and Mexico, there’s no distinction...........The way I see what you're getting at is this. Let's say, purely hypothetically, that the first X-ray machine was installed in New York back in 1903. PBS will look at their calendar and claim it was the first such device in the region of Europe—which basically implies that when New York got an X-ray, places like Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, or even D.C. didn't have one yet. But you could also argue that New York was actually the last in the region if you compare it to London, Paris, Rome, or Berlin. SO IF WE DECIDE WHETHER WE WANT TO BE FIRST OR LAST, WHO CARES...................
