I appreciate Bono speaking out on behalf of the worlds poor and sick. Don’t forget that the number one question asked Obama was “Will you legalize marijuana?”. Think about the benefits that medical cannabis can have on the millions of suffering Africans. I am very disturbed when I hear that UN Police are using international aid money to persecute cannabis growers in Africa and destroy such an important beneficial crop. Bono has enormous influence on UN leaders, and some of the world’s most powerful people. Please don’t think for a moment that by removing cannabis the UN is in any way helping the poor people of Africa or any other continent. This is a grave injustice, and I’m sure the sick and dying Africans effected by such laws would agree. The cannabis plant can help to provide food, clothing, shelter, safe medicine, and eco-friendly fuel. If the One Campaign really wants to help the poor, we should let them grow hemp, and if we must get involved, help them succeed in taking advantage of the many benefits of the hemp industry.
I hope Bono keeps up the good work, and helps to stop the bad work.
Thanx. www.nycamp.org

I found this piece to be very provocative. As someone interested in global poverty, I well know the importance of clean water. It’s mentioned very often. As a nurse, though, I even more aware of good sanitation. Just envision what your own home would be like without a toilet to put your waste products in and no sewer pipes of septic system to dispose of it. What would you do? How much of your time would you have to spend to keep the waste from contaminating your own water and food supplies and from contaminating the ground water, the streams and the rivers that carry waste from place to the next? If there were no water treatment and sewage treatment plants we’d all have to do it ourselves. How soon would it take for the whole thing break down? Then we’d be facing those diseases that are mentioned above. I’d like to mention one additional thing. With good sewers, there is little standing water to breed mosquitoes. Fewer mosquitoes, less disease, here, there and everywhere. In the places where malaria and other mosquito-bourn diseases are endemic, lack of good sewers to carry away standing water to treatment plants also sharply increases the incidence of the such diseases. No-plumbing disease is a very apt term. I hope it comes into wide use and evinces the thoughts of horror at what the lack of clean water and good sewage removal and treatment bring to populations all over the world. I hope we remember the cascade of consequences, from morbidity and malnutrition to lack of education to impoverishment of families and to death, among many other consequences, as well. There are many other things that demand our attention but there are some relatively small and easy solutions that will help this problem so lets get behind the efforts to end No-plumbing Disease.
