	The Second World
		The second world is composed by the middle class, the kind of people that cant buy a 100K USD Ferrari (like the wealthiest) but can afford a 30K or 20K car, something that for the poorest is nearly impossible.
		In other words, the second world is made up by most of the middle class in any developed or semi-developed nation, while the third world is made up by the more poverty stricken parts of the world population, no matter where they are.
		Third world was pretty much everyone else, though sometimes some Latin American nations were considered “second world” because some were not as poor as “third world” nations, but not as wealthy as typical Western Europeans, at least as measured in per capita income.

	Second World Summary
		The terms First World, Second World, and Third World, can be used to divide the nations of Earth into three broad categories.
		The term "Second World" has largely fallen out of use because the circumstances to which it referred largely ended with the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, and also because the popularity of its sister phrase "Third World" has divided the world between rich and poor in many people's minds.
		After World War II, people began to speak of the NATO and Warsaw Pact countries as two major blocs, often using such terms as the "Western bloc" and the "Eastern bloc".

	New World Notes
		In the first part of "Unimpeachable Offense", I mentioned the Gorean subculture of Second Life in passing, and only because one of the Residents I chose at random to interview happened to be a "slave" within the group.
		And after all, the floating billboards are still in-world even now, and like barnacles, tend to attract still more signs, sometimes political, sometimes in protest of the original signs, sometimes advertisements and religious proselytizing.
		As Second Life continues to grow and creations within it become increasingly valuable there is no doubt that we will continue to see all manner of behavior, including both fair use and infringement.
