Did you read my comment, what about the article? They only give the box (or money) to mothers who visit a doctor. I was suggesting that the doctor was the reason, not the box, and that the the gift pack (which includes a cardboard box) is j

It is not that they don't understand how the internet works, but legally you cannot export blueprints about weapons without an export license. The State Department is absolutely correct. Blueprints of weapons cannot be exported. Everyone in

I don't think that is the answer. Can every student in the USA who is willing and capable of being a doctor get into med school? I would guess that this is probably not the case. Increasing the number of doctors produced locally would seem
