And you thought Octomom had her hands full—a Tennessee man who has fathered 30 children is asking the courts for a break on child support.

Desmond Hatchett, 33, of Knoxville has children with 11 different women, reports WREG-TV.

The state already takes half his paycheck and divides it up, which doesn't amount to much when Hatchett is making only minimum wage. Some of the moms receive as little as $1.49 a month. The oldest child is 14 years old.

Hatchett explains how he reached such a critical mass: He had four kids in the same year. Twice.

Just blame the women? Sure, they have their share of the blame. But do you believe in fatherhood? He knew what would happen if he choose this course. He does not deserve sympathy. If you believe father are meaningless, and have no responsibility for their offspring, I heartily disagree with you.

In Russia or Japan, the government would be paying him because of declining birthrates.

The minority births is about to exceed the white births, according to the census as reported this week. If you didn't know before, you know the reason now. Also, in another article a few months ago, the number of children born to minority single women already exceeds those born into married minority households. That means the welfare roles are increasing exponentially, and not because of poverty.

It is Idiocracy brought to life

I agree that we are governed by Idiocracy.

And if you think about this from a biological standpoint you could say he adapted remarkable well to his immediate environment and made maximum use of the potential resources. His many offspring will presumably carry many of these same traits making him a model of genetic success and survivability.

This is the most logical outcome to occur if society shifts the cost of child-rearing to those outside the immediate family. He is taking advantage of the mental weakness of other members of his species and winning the evolutionary battle.
