Africa problems

So the Pope (Poep) has declared that no, the ban on condoms in Africa will
not be lifted. Wow, Mr. Pope, you have really set a wonderful standard for
all other popes to follow. Instead of breaking from the mold, you have
continued the tradition of the spread of disease, poverty, and pregnancy.

understand that you want God to flow through and for the children meant to
be born, be born. However, when those children are born and the mother dies
quickly afterward, is that God's will as well? Was that child meant to be
born with HIV? Your shortsightedness is appalling.

I believe in a God that loves me, no matter what I do. We are God. We are
god.

In possibly unrelated news but possibly interrelated news, Zimbabwe's
government is subsisting, like those poor mothers being raped and bearing
HIV-laced children, on extremely little.

"Zimbabwe's new finance minister Wednesday complained that President Robert
Mugabe's government is running on taxes and duties paid on beer and
cigarettes."" and ""We are now implementing the basic law of hunting
economics," the minister declared. "What we gather is what we eat."" comes
from this other article by CNN.

How can the world let a country deteriorate like this? The inflation rate is
sky high and this country that was so full and called the breadbasket of
Africa has now become the sibling no one acknowledges. But how can be go
back and say that Mugabe was a mistake to help into power? That would be too
terrible, no one can convert that into intelligible speak. Rather, let's
ignore it and see what happens.

Mugabe is old now. The government celebrated his birthday just a few weeks
ago because they could. Nevermind all else that is going on. We will just
have to keep hoping that someone takes it upon themselves to assassinate him
or that he slips while taking a shower. Good for you, for finally agreeing
to allow Tsvangirai to be your PM. Cue clapping hands and bows for peace.
Who cares that it has been almost 10 years since these stupid and
preventable disasters came to light in the public world view but we just
keep on changing the subject. Oh, Octomom, you've had eight children at
once! Glory be!

In Gambia, there are still witchhunts! Africa is a Rubik's cube.
