Oh and the cause of poverty is, LACK of EDUCATION genius! Which you and your MAFIA PLD led by "Lie-onel" Fernandez refuses to fund to build an election gimmick, El METRO !

Josean-Javert.....are you speechless ...say it aint so

Foreign Relations minister Carlos Morales speech:


"Food security: challenges and opportunities."


Or how the METROs will feed the hungry, cloth the naked and educate the illiterate!

Nacional will open food stalls on the metro and TVs will show the discovery channel

At one time I had a great respect for the U.N. There the world's countries were much closer to each others. Men ans Women of great intellect will combine their minds to resolved our most urgend needs and wants, wars will be a thing of the past. That respect has turned to dirt which is what I considered the U.N. to be. Its all talk and nothing more which is what can be expected from politicians. I've said in a previous comment that the D.R. is a rich country able to sustain itself. Its natural resources are boundless but both internal and external forces had destroyed for now that wealth. The internal forces replaced it in favors of tourism and the external forces were working on it for many decades. Now there is a so called " food crisis ", how ironic and the U.N. is supposed to be concerned. There is no food crisis, this is a created illusion to raised the prices of the basic food items. Hide some and justified it by what everyone is saying inin the mean time there is money to invts.

The questions of the worlds poor, again in the U.N. which is filled by dirt dressed up with the money from each respective nations citezens. All of these representatives have the nerved to look into each other eyes while in thier countries people are living in mi`series unecessary. Lets have a speech with a plan to illiminate " poverty ". (1) will you raised the minimum to see somewhat past the costs of living? (2) After taking that step will you keep merchants from raising their prices cause now people earned more? (3) Will you create more jobs instead of illiminating them? (4) Will you educate and re-educate your people with real educations? The answers are a big " NO " . At the present stage of human development both socially and politacally that will be disastreous. Investors must make a profit or they will not invest, they must have human resources to exploit somewhere on the planet. The ladder in a capitalist system as it is now must have those at the bottom, thus the " POOR ".

It's time for the Haitians to move to their own forum... Notice how little attention is being given to your comments lately... except when the Haitians Josean and Gouletcolonial respond to each others stupid comments...

Haity has enough trouble to keep the two of you occupied... Try it just for fun.

I agree with hector vargas 100%. This food crisis has risen to raise prices. They have learned from oil. Supply and demand no longer maters. The only thing that matters is greed. Plus remember the UN has over 1 billion USD in food money and is now crying poor. The UN along with most of the worlds gov'ts are controlled by multinational corp. that are interested in one thing, MONEY.

hectorvargas and wfrrir are correct in this issue. the current food shortages are not simply a function of purely microeconomic market forces; the greedy speculators are making their presence felt. with the collapse of the mortgage markets, they have diverted their speculator funds to the arena of commodity buying...oil, wheat, other grains and foodstuffs, etc..these guys do not care a whit if the poor of the world starve to death, as long as they get richer. as much as 50 dollars of the price of petroleum is attributable to speculator margins, and some boys are making unimaginable fortunes, while the cost of everything goes up concomitantly, and hardship abounds. hooray for capitalism..the ¨free market¨will resolve all things!

. hooray for capitalism..the ¨free market¨will resolve all things! .........dredv maybe your pal nutty hugo will have a solution and make you minister of socialist wealth redistribution it worked for mugabe did it not

The food crisis could easily be resolved by US withdrawal from both Iraq and Afghanistan .. we are losing both those wars and we know it .. we are wasting billions on those two conflicts, killing thousands of innocent people and with nothing to show for it .. except the sweet taste of revenge .. the glee of Celtic blood letting rituals .. down with that ugly war and use the money for food. It does not take a PhD from Harvard to figure that one out now does it?

Osamawangwong you are the suicide bombers looking for dates with virgins who cut the throats of people....... on television no less....blood letting rituals you say....you are midieval
