No doubt you are all aware of the problems China faces..otherwise you won't be reading this. You hear that girl babies are being abandoned in thousands. It is true but not as horrifing as if you think about it. Babies are abandoned in Britain. Britain has pop of 56m. China has over 1200m. Scale Factor. The thing is the one child policy in reality has no effect on the future. The educated Chines in the city which numbers only a very small % or the entire po, are having 1 if no children. Whereas the uneducated shop owners and farmers are having 7 to 10 children because they feel insecure. The government can NOT stop this. It can take away benefits and introduce tax, but the problem is food is no longer a problem in China. The farmer thinks his children doesn't need to go to school because he can feed them. This creates more uneducated children. Whereas the skilled educated % are falling relatively. Not good! China stands 1/4 of the world pop. I wish it would fall to just a few hundred million, but then I wouldn't be here by probability. One Hebre Old saying went something like this: Please correct me: Economics are for nations, Education is for the future of the race. |

Ouch. Loaded question there...
I always thought I knew, and as a matter of fact I still know...thing is, I don't know when and even *if* I'm going to realise my ideals. Have been ill (chronically) for a year now and have NO IDEA when I can start living again, so to speak. So as you can see I'm not making any big plans for the future, just dreaming of them ------------------ Melusine, High Queen of Fluffies, Archbabe of the OHF, the LH and the HADB & Sultry Elflet Your voice is ambrosia Amy Brown Fantasy Art |

actually, my mother adopted a child, a baby sister for me
what can I say? the tradition in china is "boy is the extention of family's name" most people in country side kept gave birth until they have a son. if the government is responsible for that, it is because they had not properly educated their citizens |
