i saw that
the ONE thing i could point to as a dicknbush regime accomplishment is tragically sullied by this very negative outcome

of course, in a society where the urban legend has it that a man with AIDS can rid himself of the disease by having sex with a virgin, maybe this elimination of family planning and condoms result was forecast

society suffers once again because of the voodoo of religious stigmas

There's always been a large baby boom in Africa - it was always matched by a high death rate and families produced large numbers of children as a way to insure their genes survived.

The big difference is now that medicine has prevented the large numbers of deaths that kept populations relatively low against the birth rate.

In days of old, when knights were bold
And rubbers weren't invented
They tied a sock around their ****
And babies were prevented.
