What are these people thinking (or not thinking) ?!
Disease, poverty and war are rampant... there is not enough food to feed everyone. And these people are pumping out children like its going out of style.
People consciously choosing to bring a child into incarnation under these circumstances are irresponsible abusers.
Difficult topic!! no easy solutions. Education, education, education.

Luminari, I appreciate your wise thoughts.
I have a good friend who returned from a trip to Africa.
I don’t see myself ever having the opportunity to go to Africa. In fact, I don’t see a darn thing I could do to change the situation in Africa, except for paying my taxes which America may use to hand out condoms or birth control pills in Africa.
My friend says the situation in Africa is worse than reported on the news. AIDS is rampant. She also says much of the African culture there promotes promiscuity of children (that’s child abuse in my book), and they believe AIDS is not passed through sex.
Will education ever get through to them? I do not know the answer to this one.
