Re: Am I the only average Joe around here ?
Think about world population....ALL the people in the world. The majority of them cannot eat meat more than once a week. Do not have access to clean water or proper health care or really good shelter (homes). A smaller (but still large) majority cannot send their children to school.
Those of us who have good shelter, good food, family, transportation and yeah - TV and a computer - WE are the lucky ones.
I have a small house. A fixer-upper. Yet, we have TV, we have computer, phone. Good food. CLothing, 2 cars. Heck, we shop at wal-mart and target and our vacations are to go camping not the italian riviera but I think we are SO very blessed and lucky and yes- RICH. NOT an "average joe" for sure. Because in the context of world population, an "average joe" is someone who barely gets by.
