A
Fishy-Eyed View of the Global Village
This
gem has been floating around the Net for a couple of years.
We thought it was worth reprinting one more time, just to keep things
in perspective
If we could
shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people,
with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, 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
CONFUSED
