Are the United States and other | countries expected to continually bail out countries which can't feed | themselves? I think there must be too many people living in Ethiopia. | I think there probably isn't any birth control there. Ignorant jerk. The cause of the famine in Ethiopia is the five years of severe drought. The birthrate there is nearly zero. Starving people don't make new babies. | PROPOSAL | The United States should send more food to Ethiopia, but all recipients | must consent to sterilization. | | Phil Ngai (408) 749-5720 Only if I get to sterilize you first. This kind of flame is far too mild for you. Send your address and I will arrange more literal flames. Hutch
