I'm glad I called in, too, as I tend to be shy, but each time I gain more confidence (that's not why I call) and don't let the host get away with talking over me until I've had my say. He's supposedly a conservative, loves his guns (and wife and three children I have no doubt), but is all over the map on some things.
Thank you for reminding me that it is not true about overpopulation across the board. And, yes, there is plenty of room left in this country, but what kind of a country do we want? Try to buy some farmland to build something affordable; I mean the deck is stacked against people who love and want more than one child.
It could get to the point where there will be sanctions against people who have more than one child, maybe not forced abortion, but there are some really ugly people out there. They have no love in their hearts so they don't anybody else to have any either, children help you grow in love, not that that's the reason you have them. I had mine, and most people here seem to have had theirs for the same reason, they wanted them and were willing to make the sacrifices, if not financial, the restrictions on your time and fun, to raise them. Then you get older and see that all that fun you supposedly missed was a blessing :-)
You can have a *lot* of fun doing things as a family!
*grin* Like you, I'm shy. Except when I'm debating.
It _won't_ get to the point where there will be
sanctions against people who have more than one
child, because we won't let it.
Thanks again!
