308. EXCESSIVE PROCREATION > ITS CONSEQUENCES.!

The following is a para from an article about Bill Gates and the valuable work he and his wife are doing globally, particularly in the 'developing world.'

"There is no topic in the philanthropic world more fraught than population growth. The history of efforts to analyze and address it is filled with bad predictions and, worse, cruel solutions. As development expert Alex Ezeh writes elsewhere in the report, “population issues are so difficult to talk about that the development community has been ignoring them for years.”

AH YES! "the development community." Those whose greed for MORE continues to be the Answer for BETTER!

The fundamental issue lies with a generally mismanaged species, hellbent on expanding its presence on a finite resource - Gaia - 'Mother Eath' - our home and planet.

It is clear that the mostly un-educated poor, regardless their poverty and living conditions, somehow do not comprehend their continued procreation lies at the very root of mankind's survival.
The 'developed' Western World is at least beginning to respond to this most influencing factor!

When a young adult in the nineteen sixties, I was responsible for creating 3 off-spring!

If I were in my twenties again, today, I would seriously reconsider parenthood and likely be motivated to have a single child. 

Although I am myself an only child, I have encountered single children with growing pain handicaps. 

Still, I continue to see parenthood as the most challenging role. To be part of the creation of a new human being, in an enhancing circumstance and environment, can be a most fulfilling experience. 

However, when proceeding to do so in a partnership that ultimately goes its separate ways, brings on its own multitude of aggravating issues that can lead towards wondering why you ventured there in the first place.    

      

307. What matters - Who cares - Why bother?

I'm in a quandary!

I was ready to quit this at 21, 000 'HIT-views.' When I arrived at the number I thought about shutting it down.  These mostly self-indulgent utterings have been my views on life. 'Why' had I primarily been doing it? Was there a certain satisfaction in knowing there were 'readers,' even if I did not know who they were and never heard from them - i.e. YOU?

So I assessed my feelings about deleting it, and queried how I would make better use of my time.
I had some time ago been assured by 'Google' that "NO" it was not their automatic traveling online BLOT fooling me in to believing there were actual HUMANS reading my expressions. They assured me REAL people were literally visiting the blog.

Admittedly, after my six years indulgence with the Legal System, to literally discover it to be self-servingly corrupt (I do not use this word lightly), I am these days, on the whole, in a somewhat empty and quite somber state of mind - especially with what is transpiring in USA politics, and globally in general.

I 'm beginning to wonder?  Has technology sufficient hold on the common man to have disrupted all sense of belonging? With the power structure controlled by a relatively small group, we are far more than shooting ourselves in the foot.  Has 'we' indeed become a runaway train, destined for doom?

And there I try to continue to be a focused, go-getter optimist entrepreneur - getting NO-where. So far, each time, when confronted with setbacks, I manage to overcome and soldier on, always  remembering my hurdles are puny, compared to the problems of most.

Still the latest project, with all my will power, endurance and belief in good Timing, I am somehow failing to bring to fruition.  I just know what the product needs to be, but for the life of me, with millions of web-developers out there, working with the latest developer, again, just did NOT work out. Left brain V. Right brain, we just speak different languages.  And as a not sufficiently productive harmonious team, I severed my relationship.

So what's going on here? Is it all ME? If so, WHAT is my problem?

You're 'OLD' school Dad. You expect too much! Are you serious, I ask? You do not feel a product should function as close to perfect as you can make it? Don't you demand it from your car? You're OK with a leaking roof? Come on now, let's be serious here. I refuse to go out there half-cocked.

Which is, in fact what it is, at present. Formatted in Joomla, the back-end Admin is a nightmare! It needs to be fully customized, user-friendly, easily administrated. That's it; no excuses.

I have tried a bunch of the online services looking for a capable PHP developer. They all want an arm and a leg + MORE.  So, QUESTION is? With all the hype out there of working together (Angel List etc) WHERE to go to find a knowledgable, trustworthy team-player ?
