Hundreds of "anti-summit" protestors took to the streets here Thursday to criticize what they see as the "sustainable poverty" agenda of environmentalists at the Earth summit, formally known as the United Nations Summit on Sustainable Development.

"Everything they are discussing here is actually going to retard development..." marcher Barun Mitra told CNSNews.com . Mitra is a farming advocate for India and a member of the Liberty Institute of New Delhi.

Wow! Is there a FR chapter in New Delhi? And they went all the way to Johannesburg to FReep the UN conference? Kewl!

If there isn't maybe there should be. Glad to see we're not the only ones who think the UN sucks swamp gas.

The protestors - including disgruntled street vendors, traders, farmers and free-market advocates - believe the Earth summit's agenda is designed to keep developing nations from achieving economic prosperity by limiting infrastructure development that environmentalists consider to be ecologically destructive.

Wow! Can this guy cut through the BS or what?
