Malaria is a disease that kills one to three million people a year. 300 to 500 million cases are reported. It's estimated that Africa loses about 13 billion dollars a year to the disease. Five dollars can save a life. We can send people to the moon; we can see if there's life on Mars - why can't we get five-dollar nets to 500 million people?

More than 820 million people in the world suffer from hunger; and 790 million of them live in the Third World.

We humans are the greatest of earth's parasites.

We know darned well that in Bosnia, certain governments and the secretary had said tens of thousands are needed in Srebrenica and those people were never provided.

It is hard to explain the huge variety of diatoms - a microorganism that has 100,000 species - in terms of natural selection.

Sub-Saharan Africa is also home to 400 million of the world's poorest people.

Every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage.

We have 26,000 genes. But a blind, millimetre-long roundworm with only 959 cells in total already has over 19,000.

Today we see a human population of over 6 billion people, many of whom have serious medical conditions, which either can't be treated or cannot be treated economically.

There are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it like in the Bible with the locusts. And other people who stand around and watch them eat.
