UN Agenda 21 – Got Milk, Cheese, and Hot Dogs?

Exiting the Metro at Union Station in D.C. on my way to a TV interview on UN Agenda 21, I spotted three ads on both sides of the wall close to the escalators where they could not be missed. I turned around and froze – I could not believe my eyes what the ads were advocating. Few bothered to read them in their hurried passage.

Serendipitous Journey

I was on a quest to visit the shrine of the quintessential American sport and President William McKinley’s tomb.

Rare Earth Elements

Rare Earth Elements attracted my curiosity because environmentalists constantly complain about the scarcity of raw materials and elements on the planet due to over-exploitation by greedy capitalists.

I am in agreement with Milton Freedman on the issue of greed: “Is there some society you know that doesn’t run on greed? You think Russia doesn’t run on greed? You think China doesn’t run on greed?
