Nato was bought and established by the few wealthy who also control the governments. It is the eq

uivalent of the Darfur message. Control and stave off he emmancipators for relief. Their crime is to furnish the world with a false sense of relief while it anticipates a victory for world wide leadership. Amongst the poor and the handicapped will they siphon out the last breath of humanity claiming that it is their humane policy to relieve the pain by removing the population. ( inspired to write 3-15-09) Prayer to the Almighty is the only weapon that will defeat this Luciferic globalization movement.

Ahhh this is bunk. Does this mean there won't be any more shrimp at the UN receptions??? I like the shrimp the best next to the toasted rye with mango chutney. Well come to think of it, those sirloin stips on baby greens...phenom! Oh well UN I'm bringing KFC and Miller for ya next time. UN, Peace Out.

In 1968, a book called The Population Bomb by Paul Erlich was published and caused quite a stir. It predicted dire consequences for mankind if the continued population explosion wasn’t brought under control. Erlich's time line may have been off, but his point was valid. If you look at the potential disasters we face today (global warming, pollution of the seas, overfishing of the seas, decreasing potable water – to name a few) all are caused by the ever expanding population of the world.

Yet no one addresses this problem today.

If we do not admit that global over-population is at the root of most of the environmental problems we are facing, we are in extreme denial.

At my age, I’ve 20 or so years left, at best. If we continue to ignore the over-population problem… well, good luck to all you that are younger than me. You are going to need it.

Simple solution: the US must make up the difference by giving more.

Such a load of crap. I don't hear any of the UN WFP officials offering to stop flying business class. Nope, will never happen.

Maybe they should be handing out condoms and birth control pills instead of food.

We could have ended world poverty with the money we spent to "free" Iraq.
