I’m flattered!

You have to hand-type it in to keep the apostrophe from flaking out. Very unpredictable, one’s apostrophes.

Bring him here. We can always find reptiles.

Seriously, it’s quite disturbing to see so many people on FR applauding free birth control, as though the government is handing out roach motels, or something.

Before the advent of AFDC, 80% of children born to black mothers had married parents. Now it’s reversed - 80% are illegitimate. Why is this? First, such misbehavior is rewarded - supported - by the goverment. As parents or owners of animals, we all know that if misbehavior is rewarded, what happens? Why, more of the same!

Second, is a culture promoted the most vicious of immorality on all levels, as noted by savagesusie.

My money's on culture, two key elements of which are work, and family structure. At the time of the Harlem Renaissance ----an historic upsurge in African-American creativity in the arts, music, drama, literature, scholarship and civic leadership --- 90% of the black children in Harlem lived in intact- married- mother'n'father households.

And now?

You don't know whether to weep, or to smash something.

We do have reptiles in our woods, but Frank isn’t going to find them - he’s far too loud!

It’s amazing how much has changed in just a few generations. IMO the government supporting or paying for illegitimacy is equal to the cesspit culture - like a right and left hand, and Tax-chick’s comment says it all. Communists/leftists want families destroyed; a chaotic and helpless and immoral populace is much easier to control.

Yes; and your reference to Brave New World is exactly pertinent. Sex is de-linked from marriage, family, and fertility in order to reduce human beings to machine parts and laboratory products. Material meat-bits, no more.

When I read it (in 9th grade? That would be 1964-65?) I was filled with instinctive dread at the thought that such a world could come into being. In fact I can almost say my beginnings as a culture warrior are rooted there. But nowadays, I fear the kids just don't get it. I don't feel confident that they know for sure whether Brave New World is a grim prophetic dystopia or a blueprint for a better future.

Please excuse my gloom. I will feel better when I sort my laundry and mop my kitchen floor.

The most effective birth control the government could offer would be to remove the wealth transfer to those who scam the system by having as many children as possible just for the free money.

“There is nothing wrong with responsible people who use birth control.....”

There are all kinds of well-known serious side effects associated with birth control pills. But what about all of the unknown ones that we don’t know about yet? They haven’t been around that long to have really been studied. And to think that the government is encouraging young girls to gobble down these unnecessary chemicals throughout their childbearing years (40 years or more for some) and forcing taxpayers to pay for it is unconscionable.

I wish somebody could explain the thinking in wanting to force democrats to have more kids than they normally would, my own view is that there are too many of them now...

A classic line of proponents of universal health care -”When free health care comes around, then I could feel safe and comfortable asking for the best health care, with the best doctors there are int he best hospitals providing the fastest services possible, and the best pharmacists ensuring I get the drugs I need. I would feel safe asking and demaning this because I would not be paying for it.”

Can’t say I care, it is not anyone else’s responsibility to pay for anyone’s child birth or birth control.

Indeed from the point of view of our civilization we should be banning birth control due to our low birth rates effects on our future economic prosperity. To Say nothing of our survival as a federation.

Insolently nobody has to pay 6k to 8k for a delivery, there is still such a thing as home delivery and other private options. The fact that our hospitals milk parents to be to pay for the risks our lawyers forced them to assume is anther aspect of Government induced economic price control failure.

For Women: 1st kid out of wedlock, WIC, then daycare, welfare, and job training. 2nd kid out of wedlock, mandatory tubes tied to recieve benefits. No benefits for subsequent pregnancies.

For Men: Failing to either marry the “baby mama” and maintain a joint household or maintain child support payments = jail time or a $3000 payment to recieve a free vasectomy. $1000 cash payment for convicted felons to recieve free vasectomy. Mandatory jail time for <1 bastards sired. (jail time waived upon recieving vasectomy)

For both sexes: If rules for benefits are broken, local food banks will provide 1 weeks worth of rice and beans, multivitamins, water, bread, cheese, and fruit/vegetable juice per individual and dependants per week. No more WIC debit cards, you show up and wait in line to get your food boxes. Arpaio type yurt/tent cities provided for homeless. Modern ID technology (biometrics) used to verify each recipient, including citizenship status and to prevent multiple ID’s. Mandatory drug testing after 1 year on public assistance. Congress passes laws to end anchor baby citizenship and to prevent illegals from recieving govt benefits. Impeach any judge that throws either law out. (yes that includes SCOTUS)

Costs for HHS will fall like a rock. Illegal immigration will mostly end. Then a sensible LEGAL immigration system can start replacing population loss with people that actually have skills and WANT to become Americans.

THEY COULD HAVE CHOSEN ABSTINENCE!
