G8 sees economy still in peril, falters on climate!

L'AQUILA, Italy (Reuters) – Group of Eight leaders agreed on Wednesday the world economy still faced "significant risks" and it was too early to unwind measures put in place to end the deepest recession in living memory.

But efforts to get an undertaking from the 17-nation Major Economies Forum for a 50 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 stumbled on resistance from China and India, in a setback to efforts to secure a new U.N. climate pact. From Yahoo News.

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St.
Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the
Presidential election:



* Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
* Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
* Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143
million
* Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2
Republicans: 2.1


Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Republicans won
was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.

Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in
government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government
welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency
and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty
percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental
dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal
invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the
USA in fewer than five years.
Had enough yet. Turn you eyes, ears and voice to God in prayer. He is the only one that can lead us now....Amen, Halleluia, Amen
