Members,
Speaking of awareness..... To be "net connected" is a privilege......
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 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 perspective,
the need for both acceptance, understanding and education becomes
glaringly apparent."

Chuck Wallace
