@MarkPetrovich no thanks. They are utterly useless. Time to follow the times and turn to a republic and elect a president.

It's a jungle out there!

The worlds dilemas are not down to a lack of resources merely poor distribution, capitalism will never deliver equality for all as it is the sworn enemy of such an ideal, i think that ideal was called communism...all the hot air spoken at these meetings could power London for 1000 years! I wonder how many people on a dollar a day will contribute to the debate?!

to act, is not up to them, but up to them and up to us and up to each and every single human being on this planet. If we always wait for someone else to act, there will never be change. Everyone should act, anyone should act, and make others act by giving a strong example of their consistent committed action to make positive changes in any situation where there would be the slightest smell of injustice.
