THOUGHTS TO PONDER

The entire population of the world--all 6,800,000,000 of us--could stand on the ground in the State of Texas and we would each of us have 1,080 square feet of space. So much for overpopulation.

50% of first marriages, 65% of second marriages and 75% of third marriages can be expected to end in divorce. So much for holy matrimony.

In the year 2000 in the United States, 9,700,000,000 animals were killed to be eaten, including 9 billion chickens, 300 million turkeys, 115 million pigs, 42 million cows. The average meat eating person is reponsible for the slaughter of 37 animals per year, about 2,800 in a lifetime. So much for animal rights.
