Villagers credit the harmony that this tradition has brought to their community with the dramatic drop in crime. Not to mention their renewed adoration of little girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>2.

And about 50 percent of our tropical rainforests have already gone. They\u2019re going at a tremendously fast rate.
