feed them lead paint, partially hydrogenated foods, make them smoke, eat meat, go to discos, and drink, a BUNCH.

Funny, I would've applied most of those qualities to Americans...

Perhaps the solution is to educate all those saved children. Educated cultures have lower birthrates than illiterate ones, so it would slow their growth. But wait, as they become educated and literate, they become consumers. Soon these third world countries will be raised out of the gutters, but will consume more and more as they progress to first world status. So what'll it be, starving kids or another raped continent? That's why this energy thing has to be sorted out now. We need clean renewable resources asap, because soon there will be much bigger population that we helped along, who's going to want a piece of the pie.

Well at least it is diverting attention away from the real reason rainforests are being turned into farm land, running herds of cattle to feed McDonalds appetite for beef. At least if they grew a crop of something it would produce oxygen, rather than methane from cattle.

From the orang-utan reserves of Borneo to the Brazilian Amazon, virgin forest is being razed to grow palm oil and soybeans to fuel cars and power stations in Europe and North America. And surging prices are likely to accelerate the destruction MORE ___ For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net -- No virus found in this incoming message.
