    Guest Blog - A Crisis of Conscience

    Thomas George has a typical neo-conservative spin on things. Firstly, the US congress and government signed off over 700 billion dollars to be spent on bailing out banks. Sure now Gordon Brown managed to convince the trasury secretary to buy equity in the banks instead of wasting all of the money on buying overpriced junk loans.

    Though, last I checked, only 200 billion is so far planned to be used to buy equity in the banks, that still leaves over 500 billion dollars that basically are wasted on worthless bailing out of banks.

    I'm all for nationalizing all the major banks, and running banks for managing money for the people and not for speculating with people's money, but I'm not for giving money to Wall Street billionnaires.

    Investing in Afrians education, healthcare and food does bring back huge revenues back to the whole world. Just maybe not short term profits which Wall Street corporations usually are interested in, not short term to satisfy elected officials which are only elected 4 years at the time. Making sure everyone has food, education and healthcare is also the cheapest way to have peace in the world, avoid wasting a trillion dollars on a fake war in Iraq and Afghanistan on a hopeless fight against terrorists. As long as some people still are starving, sick and uneducated, there will always be terrorists.

    I posted my idea for a quick end to world hunger, health and education problems among all other problems at http://youtube.com/watch?v=-QNgkUE7O7s

    I think we need a new worldwide currency that would be exclusively digital that should work for receiving payments and paying on cheaply manufacture Internet connected mobile phone type devices. Access to this new worldwide currency should be regulated so that it excludes cheaters, speculaters and polluters.

    Human rights should include the right to have food, healthcare and education, for everyone worldwide.
