Yes, China has a repressive population control law in effect. But what crudity and arrogance on the part of Slate to highlight a technical question about this law in the midst of the unfathomable suffering of so many.

Perhaps an analogy will make it clearer to the powers that be at Slate. It's like asking, "Tel Aviv was just hit by a suitcase nuke. Fifty thousand people are dead. So, I wonder if the Orthodox can work on Saturday to aid the relief effort?"

I so agree.

I think they never stop playing their angles, spinning...manipulating us, playing games, trying to deamonize others.

Time we grew up.
