The World Clock

It's morbid, but it's mesmerizing. This is a world clock that runs based on statistical data about the rates of various events. No, computer technology has not gotten good enough to register every time a person is actually born... although, I imagine that is not far off. And it is not currently measuring each barrel of oil removed from the ground or the rising temperature of the earth in billionths of a degree. These numbers are based on historical statistics, but the trends are perfectly clear. If any of these numbers concern you, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Educate yourself. Then take action. Herbert Spencer (an English philosopher and coiner of the term "survival of the fittest" to describe Charles Darwin's conception of natural selection) said, "The great aim of education is not knowledge but action." I agree with Spencer wholeheartedly.
