World Diversity

Just a little something to put life in perspective.
Ever wonder where you fit into the world?
Here is an example for you. If the World's Population were shrunk down into one village
with only 100 inhabitants, what would that village look like?
well..
57 would be Asian
21 would be European
14 would be from North and South America
8 would be African
~
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 village's wealth, and all six would be from the United States
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be illiterate
50 would be underfed
~
1 would be near death
1 would be just born
~
1 would have a college education
1 would have a computer

So, statistically, if you have a nice home, enough to eat, and can read,
you are one of very small minority.
Furthermore, if you have a nice house, enough food, are literate, and own a computer,
you are among the very elite.
