CANOE -- CNEWS - Weird News: Man tries to sell baby to pay for home improvements

Are you freaking kidding me? Forget for the moment that one typically sell people when you are putting them into slavery (a practice that still goes on today). Forget for the moment that if you really wanted to ensure the child's well-being because you could not take care of him/her properly that you would have seeked a solution through a lawyer or agency.

Nope, let's concentrate on the simple fact that any normal human being, with blood ties to this innocent child, would NOT act in this manner!

And therein lies the great debate that rages through our society and pretty much all around the world. Simply because you can bear children or you provided the genetic material does not automatically make you a parent. It is the love, sacrifice and determination to see that child fulfill his or her potential in life and grow up a good person in the world that makes a parent.


Stupidly, people do not want homosexual people adopting babies because they are deviant. They do not want single people adopting because they will be absentee. They don't want white adopting black, black adopting white, Indian adopting chinese, and any other combination because there is simply no way an educated, worldly person could possibly offer the experience that people of the child's origin could offer. I understand that to a certain extent but I would counter with the question "And just what does languishing in an orphanage or bouncing from one foster home to another offer in the way of learning about their heritage exaclty?"

Of course, this story burns me even more personally considering what DW and I are going through in our own life. It sickens me that any child should be treated in a way that they shouldn't; it is much worse when that abuse comes from the parents themselves. I hope this asswipe enjoys his time in lockup and I hope he is placed in general popualation accidentally for a litle, old-fashioned tuning up.

Ciao.
