John Edwards - Words About Human Rights

It starts with a question. A woman asked if he felt that in a long term strategy for dealing with poverty in third world countries is birth control?





He said that was a part of the solution, others things could include strengthening their economies and attention to education. He was mentioning that China had a program to teach their children English, and that very soon China would be the largest English speaking nation on the planet. (Wow.)

In this last video he talks about how he tried to bring up human rights abuses in China and had it thrown back in his face that they will not take human rights lessons from "Guantanamo" or America at this point in time. Give a listen and let me know what you think.

  1. Interesting clip.
    It is hopeful to hear politicians talking like this.

    My father majored in public health and population control in underdeveloped countries. I agree with Edwards it includes Americans accepting shared responsibility for our global behavior in order to cooperate to solve these problems.

    It is about thinking as a an ecosystem.

  2. Yo, anybody that knows or has ever seen me knows I "do not drop" $500 on hair care.

    You had a lot to say. It will take me a while to read it and then figure out what the heck you said.

    Let me say this:

    I do not like the "N-word". I understand it is a tool of oppression, violence and disrespect. I have nothing to get over. I do not use it and I do not like it being applied to any human.

    Fucking is or can be transcendent. If you are indeed humping the head deity in charge more power to you.

    Finally, not to make too fine a point about this: "Brevity is the soul of wit."

    Peace.
