I believe a lot of the Amerasian kids were brought over to the US and adopted -- which was a better fate than awaited their all-asian neighbors when the forces of fairness, equality, and social justice finally took over in 'Nam

However much the "forces of fairness" may try to avoid it, whenever "fairness" and "equality" takes precedence over workability, the result is usually oppression, poverty, and bloodshed. "Fairness" and "Justice" got us the fire-fire combat zones that our inner cities have become, where young people have a higher chance of being murdered than in making it out to the middle-class

If a couple have a kid without either having the ability to adequately support it, let's put BOTH mom & dad up on meathooks and put the kid up for adoption.

There are times when I find this idea attractive, albeit bad and nasty.

I too am tired of paying huge amounts of my income to support the offspring of irresponsible parents. Their sex isn't an issue with me, but their irresponsibility sure is.

Of course, MY approach is to end all goobermint welfare entirely, and put it back on charity. I would also favor laws allowing children to opt out of families who treat them poorly. And laws making non-support of your child a crime.

Too radical, I suppose.
