but really...having relatives in Alexandria is NOTHING akin to living for brief and extended periods of time in nearly forty countries in both the rich american and local peasant modes to develop an understanding of world differences. I have walked from one country to another due to "no pinche dinero"( no not SanDiego to Tijuana (pronounced tee-hua-na not tee-ah-wan-nah)and flown in a chartered jet to the China Club in Kowloon from New Zealand for dinner (company paid for that!) Things are far more different than you could imagine in that little dusty village. They don't need birth control as much as they need a change of societal mores. They HAVE more F'n condoms than bugs! They want the babies because that is how they live! It is not a matter of choice for them it is just the way it is in their world. Nonetheless the problem IS too many people. no matter if we all go naked and live in caves...6.5 billion still have to eat and poop!
