<STRONG>Thank you for calling this to our attention. I didn't catch this on the 6 p.m. news (was it ever there?)</STRONG><BR>
<STRONG></STRONG> <BR>
<STRONG>Of course you were disgusted, as every decent person should be. That's because our current illegitimate Government no longer speaks for WE the people. I bet torture kinda turns your tummy as well. I know I'm madder than hell.</STRONG><BR>
<STRONG></STRONG> <BR>
<STRONG>Ooops, did I say something that might be construed as ANTI-GOVERNMENT? </STRONG><BR>
<STRONG></STRONG> <BR>
<STRONG>I certainly hope so.</STRONG><BR>

The United State was the ONLY country to vote against it. <BR>> If anybody on this listserve feels that my belief in everybody't right to <BR>> food is, somehow, un-American or anti-American, simply because my belief <BR>> does not support the vote submitted by our government, PLEASE explain.<BR>> <BR>> Excerpted from the Sixty-third General Assembly of the United Nations at:<BR>> <BR>> http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2008/ga10801.doc.htm<BR>> <BR>> -----------------------------------------------<BR>> <BR>> Vote on Right to Food<BR>> <BR>> The draft resolution on the right to food (document A/63/430/Add.2) was <BR>> adopted by a recorded vote of 184 in favour to 1 against, with no <BR>> abstentions, as follows:<BR>> <BR>> In favour: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Antigua and <BR>> Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, <BR>> Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bhutan, <BR>> Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, <BR>> Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Central <BR>> African Republic, Chad, Chile, China, Colombia, Comoros, Congo, Costa <BR>> Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Democratic <BR>> People’s Republic of Korea, Denmark, Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican <BR>> Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Fiji, <BR>> Finland, France, Gabon, Gambia, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Grenada, <BR>> Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, <BR>> Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, <BR>> Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lao People’s <BR>> Democratic Republic, Latvia, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, <BR>> Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, <BR>> Maldives, Mali, Malta, Marshall Islands, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mexico, <BR>> Micronesia (Federated States of), Monaco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, <BR>> Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Nauru, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, <BR>> Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Palau, Panama, <BR>> Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Republic of Korea, <BR>> Republic of Moldova, Romania, Russian Federation, Rwanda, Saint Kitts and <BR>> Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, San Marino, <BR>> Sao Tome and Principe, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Sierra Leone, <BR>> Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Africa, <BR>> Spain, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Suriname, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, <BR>> Tajikistan, Thailand, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Timor-<BR>> Leste, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, <BR>> Tuvalu, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United Republic of <BR>> Tanzania, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Viet Nam, Yemen, <BR>> Zambia, Zimbabwe.<BR>> <BR>> Against: United States.<BR>> <BR>> Abstain: None.<BR>> <BR>> Absent: Cape Verde, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, <BR>> Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Seychelles, Uganda.<BR>> <BR>> ------------------------------------------------------<BR>> <BR>> Merry Christmas, Moscow.<BR>> <BR>> Tom Hansen<BR>> Moscow, Idaho<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ---------------------------------------------<BR>> This message was sent by First Step Internet.<BR>> http://www.fsr.com/<BR>> <BR>> <BR><BR><br /><hr />Send e-mail anywhere.
