OT - Global Village
[
If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following: 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-white · 30 would be white · 70 would be non-Christian · 30 would be Christian · 89 would be heterosexual · 11 would be homosexual · 6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the United States · 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 When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent. ] Neocons would be fractional persons at best ..... What part of "We The People" was hard to understand? -- Cliff |
