Re: An interesting view on how 'green' CFLs really are:

Also, from all I've read and heard, there is a US policy of not exporting
birth control to the poor in various nations, a policy which is not based
upon the would-be recipients own needs, desires, or choice, but rather,
upon the personal beliefs regarding morality of people here.


Over the years I have seen a bunch of news stories about attempts to
provide birth control pills in poor African nations. They provided the
pills and classes on how to use them, then ome back to find they weren't
taken properly, or the women made jewlery out of them. It's just like
drilling wells and providing modern farming tools. They tach them how to
farm, then the next year they just eat the seed corn and let the tools
rust away. Some people don't want a better life, if it means they have
to do anything for themselves. that is why thye live like they do. It's
the same, all over the world. If those people were in the US, they would
be trailer trash. If they wanted a better life, they would move to a
town where they could find work, better food, and a better life. You
just can't help spme people.


It's one of those thing that seems obvious, but runs head-on into very
deeply-held beliffs which oppose voluntary population reduction -
curiously, a great people seem to oppose birth control *far* more bitterly
than they oppose war...
