Not for love of money, but of Humanity. "Greater is he who works for the good of all, then he who works for the good of himself only" ~ Matthew 25:40: "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'"- (NIV).

Hopefully, they or their successors will eventually find a way out." Singapore Dissident: Singapore strongman Lee Kuan Yew admits defeat on falling birth rate
