I read the news today, oh boy........

 

It's a very small, relatively insignificant lump rock spinning through the vastness of space and time

 

The small world news from about 10 years ago

 

"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-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; and

 

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"

Would be very interesting to see how this stacks up 10 years down the line

Seen those sort of stats before, really helps put things until perspective

I'd be the wealthy literate Christian heterosexual in a nice house with a computer, so I wouldn't care about the rest of the village.

Yeah seen that a while ago, good at illustrating the numbers, not sure that by allowing immigration to happen anyone's expecting it to solve world poverty though.

 

Personally, I dont feel like this island is particularly mine just cos I was born here or my forefathers fought for it etc. I do however feel very grateful for the opportunities and huge benefits that I have had living in the UK.
