OK, that's cool, but the most important question is: how many would own an
LBC?

An early morning swimming mate of mine has given me the following which might
be of interest to some of you:
A SUMMARY OF THE WORLD
If we could shrink the Earth's population to a village of precisely
100 people. With all 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.
51 would be female; 49 would be male
70 would be non-white; 30 white.
70 would be non-Christian; 30 Christian.
50% of the entire world's wealth would be in the hands of only 6
people and all 6 would be citizens of 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
Only 1 would have a college education.
No one would own a computer.
When one considers our world from such an incredibly compressed
perspective, the need for both tolerance and understanding becomes
glaringly apparent........
