The sustainability myth is dangerous (on the World Summit)

By the lights of a globe-trotting do-goodnik, South Africa is an ideal place for a conference

No more UN for US

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

South Africa was a far better place to live when the Afrikaners ran the show. The biggest mistake of Mr. de Klerk was to let that criminal commie, Mandela, out of jail.

,,, the world should be in attendance at this summit, if only for the menu.

This notion of "global apartheid" is silly and offensive. No one is holding down the Third World and preventing it from being developed - at least not Western governments. The unholy trinity of the Left, racists of color, and Islamist nazis have their own reasons to blame the freedom and prosperity of the West for the backwardedness of the developing world. And their solution is not to adopt freedom and free markets to get on the fast track to modernity. Their solution is to turn the planet into one giant Cuba/North Korea/Taliban Afghanistan run by government central planners in which political correctness reigns and in which goods and services are made available to the public at the whims of bureaucrats, if they are made available at all. This is the true meaning behind the current fashionable buzzword in Johannesburg, "sustainable development." It has nothing to do with protecting the environment and everything to do bring the West down to where the Third World is today. If Americans knew what really went on in Jo'burg, they would spurn much of the modern environmental agenda, which is simply warmed over Marxism.

What an unworthy successor to Nelson Mandela this man is. Reuters report says "Thabo Mbeki has .... turned his back on those who cannot pay for healthcare."

He refused to recognise that HIV is a precursor to AIDS and used the money saved on drugs to upgrade the presidential aircraft.
