Is it sad that all these people die? Yeah. On the other hand, when you are popping out 10 kids with no way to support them, no income, no food or clean water, that's what will happen. They suffer from massive famine because there are just far too many people, yet they continue to procreate.

In that article, he says that "investing in relief and improving health can pay dividends." How exactly? You want to invest in something that will pay dividends... female sterilization after they have 1 child. Overpopulation is not going to go away by giving them food and making them healthier - it will only get worse.

Most of Africa is the lawless, career-welfare recipient of the world.

A couple fo weeks ago there was a story about a woman walking to some camp, squatted, had the kid on the side of the road and left it there to die. Walked away. Red Cross picked up the baby. I agree with above.
