If we could, at one time, 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 this:
· There would be 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the
Western Hemisphere (North and South), and 8 Africans.
· 70 would be non-white, 30 white.
· 70 would be non-Christian, 30 Christian.
· 50 percent of the entire world's wealth would be in
the hands of only 6 people. All 6 would be citizens
of the United States.
· 70 would be unable to read.
· 50 would suffer from malnutrition.
· 80 would live in sub-standard housing.
· Only one would have a college education.
I guess I am lucky to be an American with a college degree.
