Why are these big corporate spending on political parties not considered bribery. It seems like our political system and even our system of justice is already beyond hope saving from corruption. I pity the poor president who's got to fight against these big corporate interests who refuse to take any responsibility on any value of society as a whole. This is shocking!!!

So good to have topical information to work with my sophisticated investment clients. I'm printing it out and sending to my potentials as a fine example of what Philippe Diaz film The End of Poverty? explains. Most people will see the media rhetoric of how big US corps and IMF World Bank are "helping" Haiti while they are just moving in to take over resources, and make the people suffer more slavery and poverty.

In Africa, vast expanses of land are being leased by US multinationals, often at the expense of the local population being dispossessed, to produce bio-fuels such as ethanol. How tragic that half the world is hungry but the rich 10% are filling up their tanks with the crops grown in their own back yards!

I never got a chance to see it even though it had such a great debut. And it is not showing in any other theaters here in New York City. A shame and a pity.

I sincerely hope this one will get the message through. Working for the Bolivian Mission to the UN, I saw it last wednesday at the UN Headquarters. I watched your reading list of books on your website. A good couple of them I read or heard of myself: I saw there's still enough reading for me to do. I'd like to recommend a book of Riane Eisler that really should be on this list too: "The Real Wealth of Nations". She argues that we should and can exchange our dominator society for a partnership society and include the caring and care giving domestic work, voluntary work and the life giving natural resources of our Mother Earth into our perception of economy. The first we should stop to dominate are our own mothers, sisters and daughters. Only then can we solve the problems of hunger, poverty, conflict and destruction of our Mother Earth. Riane Eisler presented her book before the UN on 16 September this year and received a standing ovation for it. I can send you the transcription of her speech if you're interested. Because we have to do more than criticizing the present deploring reality (as most of the books on your reading list do): we have to find alternative ways to cure ourselves and live in harmony with each other and our Mother Earth. 6.5 billion congratulations with this most excellent among brilliant documentaries.
