Bernie Sanders Is Calling for For Global Peace – You can Help.

Mar-12-2018

The idea of Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un sitting in a room and not escalating an already tense relationship does not seem possible.  For there to be some hope of peace between the US and North Korea we need to put some adults in the room.   Currently, the Trump white house has no North Korean experts for advice.    As Trump has not listened to his experts on other issues, the undertaking of peace talks and outcome is a huge gamble.  This is an emergency that affects all our lives, and we can’t wait for the answers.

DDT had only been banned about 6 years before that time, so it was a 'progressive' move at the time. DDT, unfortunately, is STILL used in other parts of the world.
