Wonder who?

One good thing about us is that, though we are at the center of financial crisis and food crisis yet, we are inspired of doing some great programs for the people are most hit by this economic crisis. Be thankful that you have access to financial options like payday loans, and enough food to eat. A lot of people aren't nearly so lucky. World hunger has been a continuous problem over the last hundred years, and it has been exacerbated in some places during the last fifty years like in Haiti. Nearly every member voted for the resolution that went before the United Nations over whether or not food was a basic human right, last month seven members were absent and the final vote came in at 180 1. Only one country opposed the measure, and that country is one that is in no position to say anything, being that over 10% of its citizens live in poverty wonder who? The United States of America was the sole nation to vote against the idea that human beings have the fundamental human right to food. Now, there are obviously good reasons why the US delegate voted it down something about the government not liking the wording of the resolution but it still happened. Just be thankful this new year that you have options like payday loans, and options like whether to go to Safeway or Albertsons.
