Clinch the famine in africa is not due to shortage of food. The food wasted in the USA alone each year could probably feed africa, i will not get into africa's problems, but famines are not due to planetary food shortage.
Also bio engineering man means more diversity in crops. Crops are engineered to suit the climate they will grow in, climates are different accross the globe and so are the crops and their seeds. Also these crops are designed to withstand disease and temperature swings, food shortage is not an impeding issue or a concern at this time.
Tac, food prices going up recently is related to the price of oil, raw crops are not expensive.
I would be weary of that useless organization called the UN. I know there is some momentum to push for a global goverment, and i know Obama the marxist would be on bord with that. What better way to redistribute wealth to the third world from the first world than a global government?
Putting international taxes on oild drilling in even territorial waters, taxing the internet (like some are pushing for...).
The world is becoming a more dangerous place and fast. I do not like what i am seing.
3 000 000 people in lebanon, who share 90% of things in common, history/heritage/traditions cannot get along and keep fighting each other, look at the old yougoslavia and how it broke up, the old soviet union...
They think they can make a global government?
look at the european union, the producers (the germans) have to now subsidize the moochers (greeks) who still do not want to abide by austerity measures. What makes them think they are entitled to german hard work?
Global government would be the biggest calamity to hit this planet, i will oppose it in any way possible, i know the people in this country will oppose it too...
But if you can make this country more like other countries, strip its wealth, divide its people, create class warfare, you might pull this off... This is where Obama comes in...
