  1. Obviously “all men (sic) are not created equal”. At birth, some babies (like these) have 2 strikes against them and may be addicted to whatever drugs the mother took during pregnancy. The contrast with a baby born to a woman with a lifelong healthy lifestyle, excellent prenatal care and a supportive family and friends is obvious. This is why outside help for the child born to parents “Anger” & “Suffer” needs much more community support than usual to become a productive member of society if that is indeed possible. Some are already maimed mentally.
