Why do hungry people in Africa that don't have anything to eat make children when they know that their children also won't have anything to eat. If they didn't make so many children maybe they wouldn't be so hungry, nor their children, so they are attracting it in some way.
And traffic accidents? For example, a lot more people die from cancer then in traffic. Maybe because it's so instant death, maybe that's why it's hard to attract it and it depends more on probability of some kind... I don't really have an answer for this. |
But you do make an interesting point... We can put a man in space, but can't get Africans to grow some corn or wheat or something...? Can we not pipe some water to those folks and teach them to garden...?

This made me chuckle... Maybe because it makes sense...
