I would rather compare to every city in the US today, only because thats a
better real comparison one can hope to have.

You might think differently someday .There are variable changing conditions
in the US cities . To some extent we have people who base reality only on
the cities where they exist and make conclusions. . You might have a panel
of people on PBS talk about people not trusting anyone anymore and crime in
another city they talk about how to get solar energy into more homes and
celebrations, not how many people were killed.
I was watching a news feed from Britain and they were talking about one
murder as if this was unusual and it top story. There was nothing unusual
about it although very sad all the time it happens. But this one murder had
no special politician or famous person connected, they reported it most
likely because it happens so unoften. Can you imagine ABC starting their
program about a murder in Missippi without a more urgent correlation besides
just a murder?
So you see reality is very contrasting and some people live very much better
lives , pollution is just one variable and an important one that already
affected everyone more then others who didn't . You might not be sick and
you might not die but I can guarantee heredity has less impact then you
think compared to pollution and those people who ate the same healthy
things generally speaking in clean air always perform better and are
healthier then people who don't. How much so is the unbelivable factor.
