I feel so sorry for Africa.
First they had slavery and now this aids epidemic, not to mention civil wars raging and the place full of despotic leaders. The rest of the world just throws money at them which is stolen by the leaders and still we do nothing. Huge chunks of the country can't be farmed or grazed and droughts ravage them intermittently.

They just keep on living and procreating because that is all they know and now the Pope comes along and tells them to keep up the good work by producing more and more kids that will most likely die young.

Makes me a bit weepy if I think too much about it.

Edit - Almost forgot aparthied (sp?) How would you like being a second class citizien in your own country?
