WORLD SUMMIT:
At the opening plenary session of the WSSD in Johannesburg
yesterday,delegations were asked:
"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food
shortage in the rest of the world?"
The subsequent debate was a complete FIASCO and ended in deadlock.
The Africans did not know what "food" meant.
The Western Europeans did not know what "shortage" meant.
The Eastern Europeans did not know what "opinion" meant.
Delegates from the Middle East did not know what "solution" meant.
The South Americans did not know what "please" meant.
The Asians did not know what" honest" meant.
And the United States did not know what "the rest of the world" meant.
