Out of the Mouths of Babes

Someone on one of my lists just posted a link to this speach by a 12 year old girl at the UN Earth Summit in 1992. Her words are just as potent now as they were at the time, so I thought they deserve repeating. I have seen this clip several times, yet I am moved to tears every single time...perhaps moreso now because I know what she will say, but I also know that we have moved *backwards* from where we were when she first said these words.
