Daily Thoughts 03/09/2013
I have been reading a little more of Al Gore, The Future. Right now, he is writing about ethics. One of the issues that comes up is choosing boys over girls and how it affects population dynamics.
I also learned that Pinterest has a lot of picture galleries of early childrens illustrators. People like Beatrix Potter and Jessie Willcox Smith as well as a number of illustrators like Edmund Dulac.

Is the boy vs girl thing a real problem now, even with all the global attention on it? Is it still happening in China. Argh. We are so messed up, pretty soon we will all be part of a Dystopian novel.
It is not just China. It is happening in China, India, and the Middle East. It is illegal in India to have a sonogram to determine the sex of a child. It creates an imbalance between the number of girls and boys being born.
