The Internet Delivers Other, Less Formal MDG News

Catholic Culture says we need more emphasis on men.

A quick perusal of the interwebs reveals that Ukraine, Bangladesh, Eritrea, Equatorial Guinea, Finland and the U.S. say the MDGs are attainable. Australia and Afghanistan say they are not. Others (like Canada) are careful to avoid taking a position either way, instead opting for “progress” (how diplomatic).

Most New Yorkers have no idea what the MDGs are.  

The Sri Lankans plan to use Buddhism to help achieve the MDGs.

Madagascar had nothing to say on the matter.
