India: Babies Thrown 50ft Off Temple

Forget about breastfeeding, a balanced diet and modern medicine for a strong, healthy baby -
throw it off a roof onto a sheet
! Not only is it good for the baby, it gives them courage, intelligence and strength!
After 500 years of this tradition, you'd think that the Musti village of Solapur would be a world powerhouse by now, with all those strong, courages, healthy and intelligent people?

This superstitious practice is nothing short of reckless endangerment and should be prosecuted as such. If challenged, this foolishness will no doubt be defended on the basis of a need to respect cultural/religious traditions. Someone needs to invent a “good sense” pill that, when taken, disentangles hotspots of stupid in the taker’s brain.
