Do you think humanity has the intelligence, creativity, and desire to achieve the Millennium Promise goals?
The Millennium Goals, as expressed by the United Nations, are as follows:
1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
2. Achieve universal primary education
3. Promote gender equality and empower women
4. Reduce child mortality
5. Improve maternal health
6. Combat HIV/AIDs, malaria and other diseases
7. Ensure environmental sustainability
8. Develop a global partnership for development
Do you think we collectively have what it takes to achieve them? What do you think it will take?

A cursory glance at most of the Q&A on this wretched and depraved site should tell you that the answer to your question is…”NO!”…
Furthermore,… how can anyone begin to think about taking on these lofty goals when they are ‘expressed’ by the immeasurably bloated and tainted bureaucracy of the United Nations?

Dissolve the U.N., and then we may be able to talk about solving a few of these problems. Until then, I suggest taking a a long and scenic detour off of the U.N. ‘Pretentiousness Highway’…
