This should just not be happening in the USA. There is so much money, but it's being hoarded by the few. This is so wrong!

Should not be happening in such a rich country, but, greed appears to be king these days, everywhere.

So sas, I think people should think twice about having babies, if they are not totally secure.. it is sad and should be happening... lets hope there will be some hope to when the recession is totally over

So, I feel & understand that there's so much $ available by people "up there, somewhere". Some of those people are also great humanitarians who try to do as much good as they can.
What I don't understand is why some people who haven't achieved a more secure position in life continue to procreate & over populate the world like there's no tomorrow. There seems to be no plan, no thought of "I think I can only raise or rear 1 or 2 kids to educate them right"... Why aren't more people using birth control? It's certainly cheaper than having another kid we can't provide for properly. If I found myself accidently pregnant & temporarily hopeless, I certainly would avail myself of an abortion. We humans can't create or destroy a spirit. Only remove a prospective casing for a spirit to inhabit while on Earth. But we can definitely create & spread a lot of poverty & misery by acting like the power of responsible acting is beyond our domain.
It takes individual responsibility & social responsiveness to create the kind of society we all would live happily for now, if not everafter... My humble opinion. Don't need validation or lambasting.
