You tell me

Have you noticed in any given society that the rich have an average of two children, while the poor have an average of two dozens? Here in Cebu these irresponsible fathers need to be neutered. And the mothers? I don't know what to do with them ...they're so fertile they can't even smell their husbands pants without them getting pregnant. But who's really to blame for this mass production of babies?

1. The government? ----Any sane person should not be looking to the government to make their bedroom decisions for them. I like the motto of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation: prevention, prevention, prevention. So I think the Philippine government should invest in cable and plasma tv for this poor but verile Filipinos. Why do you think American women complain a lot about their men not giving them attention?

2. The pope? ---The pope tells the masses that it's wrong to use contraception because it terminates life. And of course the masses heed this instruction because they don't want their soul to be parked in purgatory when they die. And because it requires a man and a woman to produce a baby, it makes a lot of sense why priests are told not to marry. They don't need to,that's what orphanages are for.

3. The parents? ---Well, the rich parents are busy running their business so they're mostly away from home and absent from church when the priest talked about contraception. But you'll find the poor in church all the time because they're tirelessly begging "mama Mary" to let them win the lottery. So they can feed the many children at home.

For a country to continue to function productively, it should have a birth replacement ratio of 2.33. America at some point was in danger of not meeting this number were it not for the Mexicans spitting out kids as fast as the Filipinos. So what's the common denonimator between Filipinos and Mexicans?
