...doomed as long as rich countries waste their resources and indulge in "superconsumerism." As the conference ended last week, the final recommendation put forward by the delegates linked family planning with "socioeconomic development," which requires massive infusions of foreign aid. Many underdeveloped nations were obviously unwilling as yet to accept openly responsibility for coping with overpopulation and its resultant hunger.

The Radcliffe bitch stereotype--witty, bright, castrating--is very real to many men. They say openly that they just don't like Radcliffe women. Freshman year there were groups of men in the dorm who stuck together, uninterested in Radcliffe women as friends, and looking elsewhere for their girlfriends...
