Small Portable Colour Television For Sale

1.2 billion people with less than 1, 25 dollar a day. What do we do?

Life is such that we tend to each other and to navel gazing, or even the speck in the eye of a neighbor.

So here and there, and I the first, and publishes notes on DSK, Michelle Alliot-Marie Le Pen , on pollution on Berlusconi on words in politics, etc ...

The French politics is so fueled by the actions of the ruling caste you almost forget there are other people on Earth.

reality imposed on us, even if DSK will speak Sunday night on TV (which is the case), even if MAM lied through his teeth (this is the case ), even if Sarkozy does not tax the rich (which is the case), the problem is elsewhere, is a global tragedy happens.

Tuesday, February 15 the World Bank informed us that 44 million inhabitants of our planet sank into poverty due of skyrocketing food prices between June and December 2010.

Think So here's a sample of reality, between June and December 2010, the price of wheat has risen sharply:
  • Kyrgyz Republic (54%),
  • Tajikistan (37%)
  • Mongolia (33%),
  • Sri Lanka (31),
  • Azerbaijan (24%),
  • in Afghanistan (19%),
  • Sudan (16%
  • in Pakistan (16%).
The price of rice is no exception:
  • in Vietnam (46%)
  • in Burundi (41%)
  • Bangladesh (19%)
  • in Pakistan (19%)
  • in Indonesia (19%)
  • in Mozambique (14%)

Corn prices also soar:
  • Brazil (56%)
  • Argentina (40%)
  • in Rwanda (19%)
  • Peru (12%)
  • in Guatemala (8%)
estimates the World Bank, taking into account the 44 million additional poor people have switched on the threshold of extreme poverty between June and December 2010, our beautiful Earth count 1.2 billion people living below the poverty line on less than 1, 25 dollar a day.

So I hope the G20 president, Nicolas Sarkozy will seriously address the very serious problem of extreme global poverty. It is high time to change our world and our economic models where the powerful multinational conglomerates, big producers are getting richer on the backs of shamefully world citizens destitute and including wheat, corn, rice are only food.

They are starving, sick children, mortality is terrible, help!

Well, I wanted to tell you because poverty is one of the worst things when so many exist elsewhere wealth for others.
