even if its communist propaganda. you miss the point. we each have a responsibility as citizens of the world to do something. we all want safety and security for our family and ourselves. start seeing beyond the imaginary lines we call national borders. AND realize that there is no "us" and there is no "them".

And I don't need to read the chronicles of Mustapha Mond to realize or understand the society that I live in. So to answer your question, no, I'm not crazy.

I am not a proponent of the UN. It is an organization consisting of individuals who are corrupted by greed and self-interest; who are given power to further that very greed and self-interest. The UN's foremost objective, world peace keeping, has been overshadowed by the undercurrents of a "One World Government". They are 21st century pirates--rape, pillage and plunder, and the world community allows it. The 'have' and the 'have not' remain at opposite sides of the spectrum. Is there any hope...

United Nations Communist propaganda! Research UN agenda 21.

Are you crazy? You need to read Brave New World. The UN needs to be abolished. Aldous Huxley knew what these World state jerks were doing.

Oh....and it's the 21st century....an age of Blackberry's, MacBook Air, and commercial space travel....why can't we fill empty bowls with food? Because we are all inherently selfish...it is our demise.

I have an issue with 2 of the 8 goals:1)eradicate extreme poverty & hunger7)ensure environmental sustainabilityNow, with approx. 7 billion in the world, are these 'goals' feasible? They seem to conflict with one another. At our current state, hunger for some, sate for others; we are having issues with sustainability. So the real question is not whether "we" can eradicate hunger and poverty, but can the earth?
