Good point, Keith. If I'm an adult in Sudan, and everyday I see my economically-equivalent neighbors' children die of starvation, should I really be trying to start a family? Should I expect "everyone else" to come to my assistance in helping me feed my child, and hope that they feel guilty if the child dies?

If I don't have enough food to feed myself, how can I bring another life into this world and expect it to have a fighting chance? How about some personal responsibility here? Don't dump your poor decisions into my lap and expect me to feel guilty about your situation, as if I personally created your hardship.

OK, I'm done ranting
