Disappointing statistics

So, I'm bumming about on the internet and my husband says.......

"If we were to alot every human being a quarter acre of land, how much land do you think that would be? How much would it take?"

I shrugged and said, "I dunno - maybe about as big as Russia."

The answer folks, is about as big as Australia - that's it! Even about as big as Russia leaves quite a bit left but Australia!!!!!

I remember reading about a decade ago that 3 percent of the worlds military budget would solve every human crisis on this planet. It would provide every man, woman and child with decent food, water, shelter, education etc. 3 percent.

Zeitgeist is right - there really is so much abundance out there that we are just not sharing.

Now there are many wonderful things about humans and we do harbor great potential but when we look at statistics like this - it's official - we, as a species, suck so far. It's very disappointing.

I'm still not giving up my house though having said all that. I'll just have to join the rest of the selfish, frightened children.
