HYPOCRISY STILL REIGNS IN THE USA

". A 2010 follow-up study, UNICEF "Report Card 9," reported the same bad news: The U.S. ranked 23rd out of 24 nations in the proportion of its children in poverty, beating out Slovakia, which came in last."  Written in an article about how free market is rated in the wealthiest countries, we as a nation show rather poorly.  Yet, no matter how are economists and the current administration try to steer us in a more positive direction to get us back to having a middle class with fewer malnourished children, we are failing because the forces of evil have taken over in a war against our present government.

When McConnell uttered his goal of making President Obama a one-term president, people had no idea he would do it at the expense of the poor, the ill, the malnourished and only at the expense of the middle and lower classes of our nation. What is it that keeps people blinded to the dangers inherent in pushing the poor beyond their ability to tolerate.life.  History has recorded the precedent of violence erupting when people feel totally helpless against the ones who take it all and flaunt it.suggesting that being rich proves their worthiness, that they deserve more than the poor because they are rich.  Revolutions have usually followed.

Arlie Hichschild wrote a very interesting article on: How a Free Market Run Amok Destroys Family Values.The article starts with the statement:  "We need a healthy market. But we also have to understand that some of the policies said to free it can deeply hurt the families free-marketeers claim to value."  To read this article, click here.

OUTSOURCING A WOMB, AS WELL AS COMPUTER PROBLEMS, TO INDIA.

Since once ovum and sperm meet, all the genetics are set.  Thus the race of the room 'borrowed' for gestation does not affect the external appearance of the child.  It is not a surprise that impoverished woman in India, whose husbands earn the equivalent of America's $25, may choose to earn as much as $5000 to incubate a fertilized ovum for near nine months.  While the biological alien will never have the joy of being so close to her unborn child as wearing it on the inside, nature will preserve it intact with all its genetic material intact.  The child born will resemble its parents and not the body in which it was gestated.

Since America has outsourced so many jobs for cheaper prices, why should we be surprised if surrogacy has been added to the list.  We can all remember the legal battlers that made headlines in the past when the surrogate was unable or unwilling to give up the child once born.   To avoid this contract violstion, a very wise company now in the surrogacy business in India, chooses women who are married and already have children so that the temptation to keep the baby is lessened.

This is a trend that has increased, with America being one of the leading users of the service.  It certainly suggests a move 180 degrees away from the 'do-it-yourself' movement which we have prided ourselves on for so long!
