in some more news

Apparently Africa has nominated Zimbabwe to be it's chair at the U.N. Commission on Sustainable Development. Why not nominate a delegate who hails from a country where free elections don't exist, the economy is so hampered by poor leadership that they can't even feed their own population, and where human rights are violated if you oppose the ruling party. Thank you Africa for your great choice in nomination, Zimbabwe is such a shining example of sustainable development, I'm sure we can all learn something from her.
I remember receiving a flyer (which i will attach) during my stint at FSU that advocated for the world to wake up because Zimbabwe is dying . I think too often being so far away from suffering we get lulled to sleep by the comfortable lives we live. Perhaps it is time for us to wake and I hope this helps by shaking your conscience a little. (courtesy of www.zimvigil.co.uk)

Too bad Mr. Mugabe doesn't read your blog.
