One doesn't have to look very far to find societies where children are being
sold by their parents into lives of prostitution and certain death from HIV
virus. In contrast, I think we'll we'll survive if some kid is named
'Burger King'. If it were approached from the other end, with a corporation
offering $500,000 to name somebody's kid, they'd have to hold a lottery to
find a winner from the the tens of thousands people willing to do so.
