Default 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?
