    Ms. VanPutten, Africologist, why India when there are great needs on the continent of Africa – our mother/father/sister/brotherland. We need to mind our own affairs because we are tagging behind the rest of the world – suffering and dying along the way.

    Come on, come on Ms. VanPutten you’ve got to come better than this.
