>>>>Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days.
>Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.
>He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"
>
>God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction 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 great place of balance."
>
>"Balance?", inquired Michael, 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; the Middle East over here will be a
>hot spot. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over
>there is a continent of black people,"
>
>God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be
>extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in
>ice."
>
>The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a large land mass
>and said, "What's that one?"
>
>"Ah," said God. "That's OHIO, the most glorious place on earth. There are
>beautiful lakes, rivers, sunsets and rolling hills. The people from OHIO
>are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be
>found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hard working
>and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as
>diplomats and carriers of peace."
>
>Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about
>balance, God?" "You said there would be balance!"
>
>God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots I'm putting around them
>in Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania."
