I dunno, it seems like by rough measure the entire third world (under
colonization at some level) and the entire first world
exploiting/extracting from them would seem to suggest order 8bn ?

I take your point re:  Right Wingnut abusive co-dependency.   Where lies
the distinction between codependency and co-evolution?  We have spoken
here before about parasitic symbiotes.  Have our polarized right/left
not somewhat co-evolved together and are also in-fact codependent to
some extent?   The  Right *needs* the left to be someone they can "own"
in the same many men use their wives/children/subordinates/dogs as a
place to shore up a thinning ego?
