A fascinating video by Hans Rosling on development, income, and health outcomes. The software he uses in the video can be found at Gap Minder. The exact page is Gap Minder World. It is fun to play with. Possibly even educational.

Irony: In a lecture kicked off with "mental outlook vs. data set", using a set of very cool graphs to make points about checking to see how the data matches up with your supposition, he drops a comment about Mexico having to deal with all the arms coming from the US.
I really and truly WISH I could walk into a gun store and get some of the hardware the drug lords have....
Other than that... way coolll...

But I thought the rest of it was good enough to overlook that one point. As you did.
