Reply #34: So everyone you know announces their party affiliation?

As an Independent, I'm sure most people who have spent time with me would understand I am a liberal and might assume I'm a Dem. But I'm not. So, again with the assumptions.

This thread is not even about having a child or two. It is about someone having 17 kids and you started off by saying EVERYONE SHOULD DO THAT! Which is the most non-progressive idea I have ever heard. The reasons are many, but I'll stick to a couple. The burden on the planet Earth (resources wrenched out her), the burden on already over-taxed social services in America (and elsewhere) and the continued degradation of already overcrowded schools.

Besides, who the HELL can afford that many kids? Answer: No one but Bill Gates.
