Wasabi with that?

Chinese demographic experts say the leadership is unlikely to abolish the one-child rule, because it is reluctant to admit that one of its signature policies was in any way a failure -particularly in view of the disastrous population boom encouraged by Mao in the 1950's.

Finally, a policy that makes sense!!!

woot to the hpv vac! yay!

Interesting. I'd never thought of population control having suck weird consequences. I guess anything done too fast is bad...

I hate the chinese govt way of doing things, but I did understand the whys of it. I've always been for resonsible breeding myself and thought most people shoudl stick to one or two kids, that was at most a couple would replace themselves and no more. I can see how having yourselves in the workforce in a generation would be really shocking. I think there's got to be a way to encourage and reward people for thinking carefully about how many kids they have, without forced abortions and craziness. But, I haven't a clue what it would be, except to say that the population always slows where women are given more rights and education, so I suppose that's a big key.

I agree, you really do see though that population is such a delicate balance not only between the living and the dead/unborn, but among the various age groups as well ... looking at it that way, it's nothing short of amazing that humanity has managed this far.

Happy Weekend!

I tried some of their imps, which actually have a decent sample size. I'll have to dig and see which one it was I liked best - I think it was Magdalene.
