Well, the United Nations does try and get a lot done. But everytime they're on the verge of doing what the MAJORITY of countries want, the US vetoes it.

The UN can't be blamed for America's vote.

The UN also tried to get rid of the Veto vote itself, but hey, the US vetoed it.

*sigh*

I'll do it.

It's OK James. Rush Limbaugh will step up to the plate! He seems to have infinite wisdom and great judgement.

I would still like to know who speaks for Earth ?

Ban Ki-moon. He speaks for all nations who abide by, and follow international law. Those loyal to the United Nations and its' ideals.

Ningú parla de la terra, nosaltres, com un magatzem simple on passem el dia i engreixar i els ramats, que ell pot. Vaig veure la sèrie del Sr Sagan i el millor capítol de tots és el número 13. En qualsevol cas ... que parlen de la raça humana quan arribem responsables de les nostres accions ... tant activa com passiva. En cas contrari, no conec a cap planeta com el nostre, poblats per humans ... No som simplement una malaltia?

Nobody speaks of the earth, we as a simple warehouse where we pass the day and fatten the cattle, he can. I saw the series of Mr. Sagan and the best chapter of all is number 13. Anyway ... speaking of the human race when we responsible for our actions ... both active and passive. Otherwise, I do not know any planet like ours, populated by human ... We are not simply a disease?

Still doesn't quite answer the original question ;(

Ningú. Qui pot parlar en nom de la terra ... Una persona d'aquesta raça ha sotmès? A mi m'agrada Obama, no és per EUA President sinó pel contingut de les seves paraules, però no sap la gent darrere d'

He did a good job with the UN influenza A. ..? I understand?

Maybe? But Obama speaks for less than 50% of the population on earth linusuli. Not a good demographic.

Solució humans estil ... va nomenar un comitè per portar a terme un estudi previ a una elecció per a president d'honor del planeta ... tot en paper, amb segells de 0,25 centaus de dòlar, targeta d'índex de la fotografia, el llibre de família, la història familiar. .. tals?

Dalai Lama? I think it's the best person I know in this world. I do not know all the people of Earth ... a shame!

That'd be hard to do, as different cultures have different values. It would be hard to elect 1 person to represent humanity in its entirety.

Who speaks for Earth?

Irrespective of whether we thinking about humans alone or all life on Earth as a whole:

We all speak for Earth, by our actions.

Sometimes I think we are alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we are not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.

Sí, potser el Dalai Lama aquesta xifra més valorats en aquest costat del món, dic per trobar una xifra sense interessos polítics o econòmics ... També estic d'acord amb Kinhull, la Terra podria parlar per si mateixa prova de les nostres accions. ..

Some very good discussion going on here. Keep on thinking.

Thank you Chris for your post. I'll keep on thinking.

The answer is, no one speaks for Earth. You may have noticed, we aren't all one big happy family down here. Anyone else find it rather backward that any mention of a united Earth is instantly met with "evil, new world order, socialist, they're trying to enslave us all" and all other manner of religious and political BS? Religion and politics are the most powerful forces on this planet, and they are also the two things that are destroying it.

So no, no one can speak for Earth. No one will ever speak for Earth until humanity itself changes.
