THIS is why the U.S. doesn't want people to escape poverty

read this, and then tell me why you think the u.s. would have ANY interest whatsoever in helping ANY country reduce poverty and raise the standard of living of its population...

Humans are stripping nature at an unprecedented rate and will need two planets' worth of natural resources every year by 2050 on current trends, the WWF conservation group said on Tuesday.

Populations of many species, from fish to mammals, had fallen by about a third from 1970 to 2003 largely because of human threats such as pollution, clearing of forests and overfishing, the group also said in a two-yearly report.

"For more than 20 years we have exceeded the earth's ability to support a consumptive lifestyle that is unsustainable and we cannot afford to continue down this path," WWF Director-General James Leape said, launching the WWF's 2006 Living Planet Report.

"If everyone around the world lived as those in America, we would need five planets to support us," Leape, an American, said in Beijing.

so, the answer is simple, right...? let's keep it to just TWO planet's worth instead of FIVE, and make sure we take ours off the top...
