While spending 90% of her time having more babies?? That's more than a little bit hard to do a good job of. Normal families with two or three children have problems if two kids are born a year and a half apart; the mother has a new baby to deal with right at the point at which the first kid should be taking the biggest steps in learning how to talk. Even bright kids can check out as mildly retarded at age 5 - 6 on account of that.

The alternative is to advocate State intervention of some sort.

Screw that.

Let the Duggars breed like sex-addled jackrabbits if they wish. It's far preferable to leave them to their own devices, as a Family Unit, than for the "Community" to take an interest of any sort.

I personally think that the proper Conservative response to this "Story" should be:

"Ho hum. Not for me, but more power to 'em if they can manage. What's for lunch?"

I’m not advocating any sort of govt. action; merely noting that there are real reasons why most people don’t live like that. Usually when I read about something like that, it involves something which costs taxpayers money. When a whole society does that, you’re usually in a “palestinian” “refugee camp” or in the Albanian infested side of Kosovo.

I liked this article. It is Miss Morford's first one since his newspaper laid off 25% of its newsroom staff.

Gee, I wonder why they had to cut back with such brilliant writing in their paper?
