Fantastic! It's so good to see the environazis finally getting behind space exploration. Earth First! (We'll log the other planets later)
"I wish I could make a total redistribution [of wealth]," Snyder said. "Things are going to change. They have to," she added.
Once an environmentalist always a communist. And some people wonder why they are called watermelons
We live on this one small planet and it only has a certain carrying capacity," she said.
This is true but we haven't even come close to that capacity. I read here that the entire population of the world could fit in Texas with 2500 sq ft per person. That leaves us well over 90% of the world for support services. We've got tons of room left!
God Save America (Please)
(I have the same question about liberal women. Conservative women such as our freeperettes are great looking while the liberals tend to look like hitlery or madeline albright or reno)

Eleven? And this child knows something of the "greed of the people?"
Feh. Hogwash...
When Katie dies, we will have gotten rid of a HUGE waste (of skin)
Is she?
Damn straight, you let-me-mE-ME-tell-you-what's-good-for-you-poor-little-brown-people control freak, things ARE changing. The economies of developing countries that have embraced globalism, trade, capitalism, development are growing at an average rate of 5 percent, compared to developed countries' average rate of 2 percent. (The economies of the progressively smaller number of countries following your f-ed up advice are contracting as their populations are increasing. Look up "natural selection" to deduce the ultimate result of this.)
IOW globalism and economic development, building things, growing things with chemicals, digging and drilling stuff in the earth -- all the things that you hate (and that feed people and cloth them and shelter them and give them resources and security to advance their condition in life and the development and education of their children) -- are NARROWING the gap between the rich and poor nations.
It's your worst nightmare, you hope-killing, freedom-hating poverty whore. Billions of little brown people over the course of this century will be leaving their mud huts for air-conditioned houses with a personal auto in the garage.
What will you do when you can no longer haul your well-fed white butt around the globe lecturing the little brown people about the glorious "sustainability" of their impoverished degradation? I wish you a long future molding in the dark corner of some Karma Cafe commiserating with your fellow socialists about how no one pays attention to you anymore.
(O.K. Done ranting. I feel better now.)
You Greenies can have one of them to commune to death for yourselves. You can even have one with air and water. You can even pick any one you want except this one, and the offer is good until 4 Oct 2009.
The name suggests even more proof that the Greens are Marxist in ideology. What are they looking for a Peoples Republic of Earth?
If our lifestyle is total bull---t then why do we have an EPA, emission standards and laws regarding pollution while China (Marxist/Maoist Communist) is belching out a hughe brown cloud of real bull---t fumes?
Why did the international community have to catch the Soviets meltdown at Cherynobl while our overblown 3 Mile Island incident shut down an industry?
Sounds like the same old bull---t to me...Blame America first.
Too bad she wasn't sitting in one of the millions of trees that burned this summer - due to mismanagement of the forest and arson by forest service employees.

Well, she's cute, but I bet she doesn't shave her 'pits.

Actually, if they want to help the poor, Bank officials should focus less on "inclusion" and more on freedom - because that's the real antidote to poverty. This is confirmed by the "Index of Economic Freedom," published annually by The Wall Street Journal and The Heritage Foundation. This guidebook ranks nations by how economically free they are. It consistently shows that people who live in countries with the fewest economic restraints are wealthier than those in economically repressed countries.
Take Haiti and the Dominican Republic, two developing countries with a common border. The 2001 Index shows that of the 155 countries graded, Haiti ranks 137th, while the Dominican Republic is 59th. So what? Well, the answer to that question is this: Thanks to a more market-oriented economy that features low tax rates, Dominicans earn nearly five times as much as Haitians: an average of $1,799, compared to Haiti's $370.
Examples like these abound. So why the Bank's misdiagnosis? Partly because of what it sees in the former Soviet Union. We've poured billions into many of these countries, and they're worse off today than under Soviet rule, Bank officials say. So capitalism obviously doesn't work.
But as the United States and other democracies have shown, capitalism isn't just the absence of socialist-style economics.
The reason should be clear: All the loans in the world are no substitute for economic reform - for freedom. Countries that want to be rich don't need charity; they need to unshackle their people's economic potential. Perhaps then the Bank can adopt a new slogan: "Our Dream is a World That's Really Rich."
