U.N. Prepares to Debate Whether 'Mother Earth' Deserves Human Rights Status
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/04/18/prepares-debate-rights-mother-earth/

"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."

Here's the money quote, though:
"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. "

More socialist control and denial of personal rights and ownership. A rock as "human"? Puhleaze!!

Ok, let's play this out to it's logical conclusion.

Ownership of any kind of the land: ILLEGAL. You cannot own another human being. That's slavery, and has been banned by the United Nations.

Mining, drilling, farming, ranching, fishing: ILLEGAL. You cannot take anything from the earth as that would constitute a violation of "human rights". I believe the environmentalist wackos file this type of industriousness as raping and pillaging of the land. Rape, and theft have been deemed violations of basic human rights by the U.N.

The United Nations, giving a world wide voice, and comfort to despots, and dictators that would otherwise be told to STFU.

What most of the greenies and animal nuts don't understand, when the choice is feed your kids, or protect something, the choice will always be feed your kids.
