Dear Dean:
Thanks for sharing. I hope this is not a joke and even if it were, there's certainly  some lesson to learn from the musings of the sage. I have the strong conviction that it is now time for the  "cannibals of the Darkened Continent" to teach Western purveyors of civilization how to nurture the end-products of their carnal lust with some modicum of dignity. WAY TO GO MALAWIANS!

>  
>  And so they have circumvented the North American nation's adoption laws,

>  The children's father, Kevin Federline, said, "I am the father of Sean
