What are our priorities?

Some things to fire me up:

Global priorities in spending in US $(Consumerism, Volunteer Now! 1998)
Military spending - 780 million
Basic education for all - 6 million
Water and sanitation for all - 9 million
Reproductive health for all women - 12 million
Basic health and nutrition - 13 million

Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen. (State of the World, Issue 287 - Feb 1997, New Internationalist)

I know these stats are more than 10 years old, but wonder if things have changed very much since then...
