A visit to the ODT website shows how lucky we are to live in the United States.  If the world population were a village of only 100 people, this is how it would breakout.  Of the 100 people, 60 would be from Asia, 14 from Africa, 12 from Rurope,  8 from Mexico and South America,  only 5 from the US and Canada.  Of the 100, 80 would live in substandard housing, 50 would suffer from malnutrition, 34 would be illiterate, only 7 would own an automobile.  If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are more comfortable than 75% of the people in this world. We are very fortunate.
