Their "anti-Malaria" program is basically a sales pitch for pesticides and drugs. Even the Gates foundation website admits that the mosquitos are getting resistant to these chemicals. What remains is the profits of Big Pharma (of which the billionaires own stocks) and the toxins in the homes and bodies of Africans. Sustainable agriculture?? Things like genetic tinkering crops which are designed to destroy subsistence farming and force indebted farmers to sell their kidney... You see, taking a closer look, this "philanthropy" is as real as M$ advertising claims.

I think Steve bets on doom also in the developed world, incl. Switzerland and America, even in countries with (native) repro rates as low as 1.0-1.5. Hence his preparations for defending his son's orchard with the rifle ablaze against the hungry masses... After all, we're all cave men, so doom is just around the corner! "Cave homo!" in Latin, so to speak. ;-} Chris ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SpamWall: Mail to this addy is deleted unread unless it contains the keyword "igve". _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
