I've been saying that for years. It's what's wrong with Planet Earth: mo' people, mo' problems. We humans have overrun the place like rodentia, and pretty soon, this rock's gonna slough us off in one great shake.
So good for Mangie and her mission. Here's hoping she's more successful than Mia Farrow *cough* Soon-Yi *cough*!

Well, if you have ever been to an orphanage you will understand that they are *still* better off. Children w/ no familial ties are looked down upon, they may not get jobs, they get no education. They are sometimes sold as sex slaves. They are often turned out w/ no $$ and no education at 12. They do not marry, and are shunned.
