Poverty, an enemy worth fighting .

Yet again a bus stop picture .
For none German speakers it is an ad based on the "eeny, meeny, miney mo" rhyme.
The idea is to conjure up an image of children with their counting selection chant.
Only here they say "ene mene muh" followed by , ( I translate ) "POOR ARE YOU."
We are then informed that every 5th child in Berlin and Brandenburg lives in Poverty.
The European Union definition of such is .. at best ridiculous. When all are fed , have a roof , free schooling and access to full medical care (also free) then I take issue .
I would refer all to the following :-

This is about real poverty .That which happens to two thirds of the world .Where one meal a week is a luxury ,schools a dream and health care something which seldom happens .
PLEASE take time . See how your country is doing in honouring it's promise made way back ! Sweden / Denmark / Norway / Luxembourg/ and Netherlands are the only countries to have kept their word .
You ,yes you reader can find a link there to print a letter already prepared for your own Government and send it . WHAT I ask you will that cost save a stamp and a few minutes of your time ?
NOTE On the top right side of this site is counter which gives the death toll for each hour . Death from poverty related factors ..
If this plea reaches but one of you then my blog has done some good . Tell others about http://www.poverty.com/
If a government can see it's way to funding weapons from taxes , I see no reason why they can't honour a pledge to save lives using the same revenue .
