All seriousness aside, this is an illustration I created for a speech I gave yesterday. According to 2008 statistics garnered from the U.S. Census Bureau and the USDA, there are more than six pigs for every person in the state of Iowa, my home state.
The state in which I now live, Maryland, is fifth in population density (it's five or six times smaller than Iowa but has 2.5 million more people), while Iowa is 35th.
It made for a good speech opener at Rotary and Toastmasters, I think. No deep meanings or criticisms intended--just interesting facts.
