...statement links to a manual describing how to legally force the biological father into fulfilling his child support duties, and how to utilize financial assistance programs such as Medicaid and subsidized housing. These proposed solutions fail to seriously address the root economic and social reasons that lead women to seek abortions. Advising an impoverished teenage mothers to procure food stamps merely places a Band-Aid on a gaping wound...
...world prices for oil and minerals have soared in recent years, rebel groups in Chad, Sudan, Congo and elsewhere are trading valuable oil and mineral deposits in their regions for arms.

When animals encounter an unwelcome outsider, simply driving away the interloper is thus sufficient, since they don't give much thought to whether the intrusion will happen again. Humans, however, operate with awareness of the future, which means we seek to extinguish not only a current threat but also future ones--and that can mean trying to eradicate the entire group that poses the perceived danger...
