A final word on this from me. I respect all opinions, but this says a lot.

< "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 like 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 nonwhite
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 (a year ago no one had a computer)

When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the
need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent."
