COUNT YOURSELF LUCKY If we were to shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 People, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, there would be: 57 Asians 21 Europeans 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south 8 Africans 52 would be female 48 would be male 70 would be non-Christian 30 would be Christian 70 would be non-white 30 would be white 89 would be heterosexual 11 would be homosexual 6 people would possess 59% of the world's wealth 80 would live in substandard housing 70 would be unable to read 50 would suffer from malnutrition 1 would be near death 1 would be near birth 1(yes, only 1) would have a college education 1 would own a computer
If you have food in the fridge, clothes on your back, a roof overhead, and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank and spare change somewhere, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy. And if you can read this message, you are more blessed than more than the two billion people in the world who cannot read at all --------- No I don't know if any of these stats are correct,pay more attention to the spirit of the thing rather than try to take it literally ^_^ -Gel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
