Aaw, shucks, Mumsey. I learned from the master!

WHERE'S ME GROG?

[Mr. Potatoe Head]

Something I though was interesting



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 would be 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



(ONE)1 would be near death;



(ONE)1 would be near birth;



(ONE)1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education;



(ONE)1 (yes,only1) would own computer.



When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the

need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly

apparent.



And, therefore . . .



If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof

overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this

world.



If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are

more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a

dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.



If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment,

arrest,

torture, or death, you are more blessed than three billion people in

the world.



If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness

of

imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you

Are ahead of 500 million people in the world.





If your parents are still alive and still married, you are very

rare, even in the United States.





If you can hold someone's hand, hug them, or even touch them on the

shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer healing touch.



If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly

thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you can read this message, you have just received a double

blessing

in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more

blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.



As you read this and are reminded how life is in the rest of the

world,

remember just how blessed you really are!

Gonna gie's a break, fur christs' sake! It's ba'bag. Two "l"'s are missing, no "w" is inserted. Profanity is in the eye of the beholder. We Scots have many ways of expressing ourselves (though it's probably fair to say that few are quite as productive as the odd piece of verbal colloquialism). Need more?
