Two minute silence

[ciphergoth]

At 12:00 BST today, London and many around the world observed a two minute silence for the 48 people who died in the terrorist attacks on London on 7 July.

During those two minutes, approximately 42 children worldwide died due to poverty.

We are not going to let terrorists cause us to lose perspective.

Poverty is tied in with Population Control. They all need to be addressed. A good way to start is for the U.S. to start giving its annual funding to UNFPA again, so that people in developing countries have access to family planning, and HIV treatment and education.

And of course Poverty is also tied in with Terrorism - look at the Sudan etc.
