In your countries, is it legal to record with a mic what people talks in the streets using cellphones? I suppose it is legal to hear what a person talks in a public place (well, you never know what to expect from the law) but what about recording it through the air?
Well, it seems I do. I was born and live in Santiago, Chile, so I think I'm from what "developed people" calls the Third World.
And from down here, it's sadly funny watching the White House, the UN, and all those we-got-the-power Clubs pretend it's legitimate doing something good for their countries and bad for the far far away Third World. In fact, even "good" means "good for the pockets of our wealthy ones". Third World is not a geographic issue: we have our own few First World people, and you have plenty of Third World americans and europeans.
Back on topic, for the White House and their supporters is pretty comfortable messing up the environment and let all those funny-little-countries-that-surround-us pay the bill. Take the Ozone layer, by example. This is a Salon article from 2000 if you want to know some of the mess:
