ways of change instead of looking to the old,
HC wrote that the only thing we could eat with a clear conscience would be
human fetuses, as they are the only unliving, edible material available. Go
for it Jeffrey, I mean, HC.
And while you're at it, take a Biology 101 course. There you will learn about

Hi. I'm Sara Farris, Eng.prof at Univ of Houston-Downtown. I don't remember

Yes, these are all very much blanket statements that are being made
here. What does one mean by development (a rhetorical question) and
second, how is it the root of root of most developing countries'ills. It
