UNITED NATIONS — Bolivia will this month table a draft United Nations treaty giving "Mother Earth" the same rights as humans — having just passed a domestic law that does the same for bugs, trees and all other natural things in the South American country.
The bid aims to have the UN recognize the Earth as a living entity that humans have sought to "dominate and exploit" — to the point that the "well-being and existence of many beings" is now threatened.
It's not at all surprising that this kind of drivel is coming out of Latin America. As someone with a good dose of Latin American heritage, it's a little embarrassing to see how irrelevant that region is becoming in the arena of geopolitics with this kind of neo-pagan garbage. This stuff makes Latin America into a laughing stock. The people are, by and large, wonderful, warm, faithful and joyful. But their political and cultural leaders... eesh!
