nothing like my reality.

Wouldn't it make more sense to advocate better education and push for
programs that create a better way of life in third world countries than
advocate that persons in these countries have more kids to go work in
sweat shops to support the family? I really don't understand what

Great! We'll start with you! Have you no regard for the value of human
