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 replied, "sure, go down and take a look."

Michael drifted down to the surface of the planet and explored carefully and then returned.

"Actually, I have some questions," he said.
"Yes?"
"Well, this place here..."
"Ah yes, I call that Argentina."
"Yes, Argentina, it is filled with rich natural resources, some of the best livestock seed is there, copper, diamonds, mineral formations that the population will find precious and use in trade world wide, it's climate is diverse from the cooler and rainy south to the mountains in the west and the deserts, as well as tropics abound in exotic life and plants to heal and feed."
"Yes, it is marvelous, isn't it."
"Well, sure, but I don't understand," puzzled Michael.
"Oh?"
"Yes, won't people of this Argentina use their unique grasp on natural resources to strangle and crush the rest of the planet?  Will not these people conquer all that stands before them?"
"Ah yes, but now watch- I shall populate it with Argentines."

There seems to be an infinite supply of these...


Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired of God. "Where have you been?"
God signed 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."
"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 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 TEXAS, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful lakes, rivers, streams, hills, and forests.
The people from TEXAS are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humorous
and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking 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 surrounding them with in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and New Mexico."
