Anders,
I think the original ranking was
1st world = western world capitalist democracies
2nd world = communist countries ("iron curtain")
3rd world = the restWhat puzzles me is that the "1st" and "3rd" terms prevail after the iron curtain lifted. cheers, Jostein Quoting Anders Hultman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > At 18.59 +0000 03-11-21, Cotty wrote: > >a great problem in today's first world societies. > > At 21.38 -0500 03-11-23, frank theriault wrote: > >or Life in the First World > > Now two persons have said this... > but isn't the US considered the second world? > > anders > ------------------------- > http://anders.hultman.nu/ > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
