Sometimes people just post something that they have found from other sources. Many of them cannot be tracked to their original source or have been around for years. I personally have found some of the most inspirational pieces this way. The internet can be a pain in the ass, but it is gems like this that make it all worth while.

Someone
posted this from another list and I thought it might be interesting
enough
to post here....
SOMETHING
TO THINK ABOUT...
"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 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
When
one considers our world from such a compressed
perspective,
the need for acceptance, understanding
and
education becomes glaringly apparent."
