Cool...I thot I had enuf Willie, but enuf is never enuf!

I just posted this over on JDSU but I thot it'd be nice to post over here--give us pause to appreciate again what we have

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 America
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 both acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly
apparent."
