“...the 3.5m-strong Confederación Sindical Única de Trabajadores Campesinos de Bolivia (a group that helped draft the law).”

Union

Cool, I hope they enjoy poverty and disease on ever grander scales...

It is amazing how many times the same failed ideology has to be repeated without ever learning anything from it. I guess humans tend towards misery when given the chance...

Disease and privation will reduce the population, but the rulers will be protected.

With the cooperation of politicians and grassroots organizations, Bolivia is set to pass the Law of Mother Earth which will grant nature the same rights and protections as humans.

Disordered minds exist all over the world!

Only mankind, under the guidance of God, can carry out responsible environmentalism. The Law of Mother Earth is nonsensical at best.

confers the same rights to nature as to human beings, including: the right to life and to exist

Wow. I hope no-one in Bolivia needs to EAT FOOD.

Meanwhile, the only reason many of Bolivia’s citizens haven’t starved to death is that Christian charities bring them food and other necessities.

Isn’t it amazing that Communists reject Christ but embrace pagan demon (gaia) worship.

Uh-huh. Right.

So who is going to vote for “Mother Earth?”

I can’t believe the idiot voters of Bolivia will stand by and allow their votes to be diluted like that.

If you cut grass would you be considered a mass murderer?

These people have jumped the shark.

If you treat dirt like people, it won’t be long until people are treated like dirt. This is the new Nazism.

Seriously - "Right to life" ??? so that means the 'law'-abiding citizens of Bolivia will not be allowed to eat plants, animal or bugs and therefore die within a few weeks. Satan lies, people die.

Wow. I hope no-one in Bolivia needs to EAT FOOD.

Speaking bout food: All plant and animal life needs that stuff. God forbid that an animal should consume some sort of plant life, or another animal, or a microorganism should consume either or both.

The idea is utterly stupid.

Quite simply the most idiotic and dangerous thing I have even heard of. Bolivia will not be far from murdering their own people in the name of their new found humanistic god. Think it a ridiculous stretch? Look at History, they are setting themselvs up as the ultimate power and progressive libs want the same and in the end its always the same...sinister!
