In a ceremony at UN headquarters in New York City which opened the UN sustainable Development Summit, General Secretary Ban Ki-moon said, “The new agenda is a promise by leaders to all people everywhere. It is an agenda for people, to end poverty in all its forms – an agenda for the planet, our common home.”. Many are complaining about this, I agree with it. We have a common home, Mother Earth.  They say they are going to take money from the wealthy and redistribute. The Wealthy are pitching a fit. The thing is it is not talking about the, let's say "regular wealthy", but the multi-billionaires, the really REALLY rich.  Ending Poverty is of National, International Concern as far as I see it. It is hard to spend time at peace, and enjoy your life when everyday is about finding ways to pay for food, for shelter and for warmth. ~ Reverend Crystal Cox
