This man does not need electricity?
This gentleman was attacked by chimpanzees when he was very young
What a great culture that needs to be preserved indeed.

Quality in poverty? I'd like to see quality with poor dems bashed up by chimps like the guy above. (Bunch of sick Fisk wannabes insulting the intelligence of people(hint:only dems can read and be rich and have electricity))
To: Always Right
That does it!! I'm going to unplug my computer and tell my boss I've given up electricity.

He's probably a speech writer for Comissar Daschle already.

Earth Island Institute, the San Francisco-based environmental group, once popular with millions of school children for its efforts to save Keiko, the killer whale that starred in the movie Free Willy, sent representatives to this week's Earth Summit. Did they walk, canoe, or ride horses to the summit?

Once you realize that this type of leftism--condoms instead of abstinence for AIDS in Africa, banning of DDT, implacable support for abortion--is concerned only with killing as many people as possible in the shortest possible time do you begin to understand where this guy is coming from.
Leftism is about power. Killing people is what leftism is about, because killing someone without any consequences is the ultimate expression of power.

They Love humanity but Hate mankind.

HV posted this very scary and very truthful statement about these leftists:

Oh man, you've frightened me with *that* link once before.
Give this one a look, people. Inside you'll find some enlightened folks who make Gar Smith look sensible.

They Love humanity but Hate mankind.They Hate Mankind but love feeling superior realtive to the rest of us. Leftists are like the 16 year old hoodlum raised by their Granny and dependent on her for their very life, but don't think twice about ridiculing her or swiping her retirement check.

"There is a lot of quality to be had in poverty," and the introduction of electricity is "destroying" the cultures of the world's poor, according to a U.S. environmentalist, who commented on the eve of the United Nations Earth Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa." There's nothing quite like a spoiled little rich White kid telling starving, diseased kids in Africa that they should be denied electricity in rural hospitals. It almost makes the subtle racism of liberalism appear to be overt for a fleeting moment...

Europe and the rest of the world are blaming the US for failing the world's poor and destroying the environment. Tensions are emerging between those who want our money (Britain and most of the world) and the US even before the latest Earth Summit (which is meant to blame the USA for everything, as well as, take as much money from us as possible) in Johannesburg. See August 26th London Times.
Hmmm, now how many colonies did the USA have around the world? How many people did we enslave in Africa, Asia, and the rest of the world? Didn't the British Empire empirically control 1/3 of the world, what about France, Holland, Germany, Spain etc
Yet the world is blaming the USA because the world is poor.
Let those wonderful nations that put these people in poverty, used their cheap labor, and stole their minerals pay for the mess they created.
THE USA IS NOT TO BLAME. Perhaps Europe should look themselves in the mirror for most of the problems of the world. The third world is also to blame for their problems. They often created their mess through their corrupted leaders. The USA has no share in the blame, and we should refuse to accept any guilt. Perhaps the rest of the world should learn to fix their problems, instead of using the USA, Christians, Jews or Israel as whipping boys to blame all their own failings on.
Two last questions. Couldn't the poor in the world have been helped by giving all the money it cost to create this conference to them? Wouldn't the environment be better off with out the waste of fossil fuels it took to get to this conference? If these people don't care enough to send their money to the poor and help the environment, why should we?

I guess they don't love me.
I grew up in an aprtment in a poor neighborhood in Chicago. My parents (when I was in grammer school) voted for McGovern. They were very democratic. They were happy when I got accepted to the University of Wisconsin (Madison).
In college I read Plato, and was forced to read Marx. I saw the light, and became conservative.
I am now a rightwinger living in Montana proud to drive a Mercedes-Benz SUV, with a five bedroom house, and with many guns.
Let those who think it is romantic to be poor do so. But it is far better to have MONEY, be independent, and a thinking person.

Its just like a liberal like Gar Smith to romanticize poverty and think living in a thatched hut with no electricity, no hot water, no indoor toilets, no labor saving modern conveniences should be the world's Club Med model. I don't see him and his fellow liberals giving up their affluent Western lifestyles or immigrating to the Third World to commiserate with the wretched of the earth. What they do want is to prevent them for achieving an affluent Western lifestyle and the material comforts Smith and Western liberals enjoy. More evidence if it was needed of just how "compassionate" the enlightened crowd is. They feel so guilty over living in a free and prosperous society that what offends them most is sharing the fruits of how that freedom and prosperity was achieved with those who don't yet have it. I think it a birthright of every one on Earth and yet I'd like to see every home on the planet be as clean, stocked with electricity, hot water and labor-saving modern conveniences like Americans take for granted and that should be our aim in helping the Third World escape poverty. After everything we've seen in the last century its out of touch with reality liberals like Smith who still don't get it.
