Actually, one of my co-workers is adopting one of those unwanted baby girls from China, and I've talked to him at length about it, I do have some idea what's going on over there, re: baby girls...if anyone's interested, China will sell you one, cheap- in fact, I was thinking of his situation when I made that statement...you can call it what you want, but I couldn't see a Western "government" making that sort of imposition (or for that matter, deciding to club 50,000 dogs to death in front of the whole world, rather than at least euthanizing them), could YOU? How does a country become "overpopulated", or at least unable to support it's population (like China or Africa), in the first place? Is THAT government-imposed also?
All I tried to say was: I'm glad I live where I do, and not in a place like that. Our society (be it culture or government...but which comes first?) most definitely has it's share of faults- but I'd still rather raise a family here than anywhere else...so far, anyway.
ITA= I Totally Agree...right?
I wondered when I'd run across you on here, Mark....I saw a few of your posts & almost said hi, but I know you've been busy- how did you guys do at the ACA? We planned to go, but I got sent to St. Louis on a storm break...plus Windi had a loss in her family 3 wks ago- we just didn't make it. Maybe next year! I think we should definitely all get togethere sometime soon...keep in touch.
