I am so glad that I didn't buy into all that "population bomb" Paul Ehrlich crap from the '60's and '70's and popped out 9 babies while all my liberal relatives looked on in horror.
LOL!
I didn't have nine, for a variety of reasons beyond my control, but I did make it to three - and I one time had a woman my own age (late 20s at that time) come up to me while I was with my kids in a park in San Francisco and start berating me for "cluttering up the world" with children. When I lived on the West Coast, I would get comments like that all the time. I bet you got them, too; heck, the woman would have had an apoplectic fit and died if she'd seen you with your 9!
God bless you! Keep those conservatives coming. LOL
Yes, and you shouldn't buy the opposite form of crap (as represented by the article), either.
Someone who understands ecology (the actual science, not the political buzzword) will appreciate the fact that populations are governed by natural feedback loops, and that mindless extrapolation of this sort is equivalent to expecting a fever patient to spontaneously combust a few days after he becomes ill or to freeze to death a few days after he begins to recover.
Nine?! Wow! Good for you!
Congratulations: Now persuade your kids to likewise reproduce.
