  I've often said, if you live in an island nation of a few people, wouldn't you think it a must to try to keep everyone healthy, happy and strong? You know, in case the natives from the next island over decide they want to come and hurt all of you and take all your stuff? Health, both physical and mental are more important the smaller the population gets. Here's something I saw posted on facebook by one of my Swedish friends. What if there were only 100 people in the world and you applied current world statistics to them? This website says it would look like this.

  Food for thought.

  I invite comments and hope for an interesting discussion.

  Even if the statistics aren't exactly right, we all know the accurate ones would be fascinating.

  If the population was 100 or less, human beings would be on the endangered species list. The situation would be grave. In that case, it would be all the more important to be sure each and every person was healthy and living in a good environment, literate, etc. Just because we have billions of people living now, it doesn't diminish the worth of each and every human being. Whether it is 100 people or it is several billion, the health and well being of each and everyone is precious.

  Well if there were 100 people then only 0.1% would be enslaved to the WTS. Paradise maybe?

  That would be a plus, Az. If was the Queen, I'd discourage any cult activity. That 1 person would have to be doing a lotta community service.

  I'm backing this to the top. Hoping for a good, intelligent or even not so intelligent ('cause you know that's gonna happen) discussion.

  Come on, Beks, I see you on line. You're intelligent about these things. What do you think?

  Sounds like an ideal situation in my opinion.

  I was going to say they would need to have a lot of sex, but I see that one of them has HIV. Sucks.
