I heard the Gates foundation is still giving out Monsanto seed to African farmers. They can plant one season--then they can't afford to replant. Maybe things have changed? I know Warren Buffet tried to reason with Gates, but unsure if Monsanto is still involved? On another note, I hope someone developes a better condom--not just for use in Africa, but for use everywhere. We have enough people?

the best condom is higher education for the ladies.

the west is facing a population crunch, as ladies are spending their more fertile years studying.

We have got enough people. Just because the west has a population crunch (and the current economic paradigm doesn't support that) does not mean that the population problem goes away. The pollution doesn't dry up, and the seas don't replenish their fish because of this.

Is it really necessary to refer to the women as ladies in this context?
