Found onFNC (http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/04/18/prepares-debate-rights-mother-earth/). And if they do find that "Mother Earth" has "rights" then I'm gonna be one of the first in line to sue her over the roof damage caused by the snow she dumped this last winter.
United Nations diplomats on Wednesday will set aside pressing issues of international peace and security to devote an entire day debating the rights of “Mother Earth.”
A bloc of mostly socialist governments lead by Bolivia have put the issue on the General Assembly agenda to discuss the creation of a U.N. treaty that would grant the same rights found in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to Mother Nature.
Treaty supporters want the establishment of legal systems to maintain balance between human rights and what they perceive as the inalienable rights of other members of the Earth community -- plants, animals, and terrain.
Communities and environmental activists would be given more legal power to monitor and control industries and development to ensure harmony between humans and nature. Though the United States and other Western governments are supportive of sustainable development, some see the upcoming event, “Harmony with Nature,” as political grandstanding -- an attempt to blame environmental degradation and climate change on capitalism.
“The concept ‘Mother Earth’ is not universally accepted,” said a spokesman from the British Mission to the U.N. about Bolivia’s proposal. “In general, our view is that we should focus on tackling important sustainable development issues through existing channels and processes.”
And, yeah, I'll be suing plants, animals and terrain, too.

Yup, that's the UN. Bolivia can have them.

The U.N.-- soooo last century.
But then so was socialism, communism and every other ism and look! we got Barack. Because the lefties just can't move on.

If "Mother Earth" needs anything it's an enema and I can tell you where to stick the nozzle !

Beaux Livia, that's a proxy for Hugo Venezuela. Isn't the president that Indian police surrounded in his hotel and the army rescued? I think he also asked our diplomat to leave. They did kill the Sundance Kid though.

When you take these idiots into account, does genocide really look that bad????
A conscript army would solve this by going to war and forcing them into service, many will die and with them their perpetual stupidity.
Thinning the herd must be a viable solution. This doesn't mean that we should force them into desintegration chambers but a good war with no clear goals and limited weapons coul be a good thing.
Damn, I hate stupid people!

Newsflash.......
I have been in direct communication with Mother Earth and I have implicit instructions to abort the UN.
