The reason I'm sick of hearing about Africa is that they are starving because there are too many people for the resources so they are slaughtering each other over it and if we don't rush in and give them money and food they scream "Genocide!!! We are being wiped out, you have to make it stop!". Like idiots we go in and bail them out over and over and over, so they can get back on their feet for long enough to start killing each other again. But if we try to put in place any plans for women's health care and birth control so that they can have some decent kind of life, they all start screaming "Genocide!!! You are trying to wipe us out!" At this point, I'm ready to say "Have it your way then, leave us out of it."
