    I'd rather pack courts than pack guns to tilt the system back, but that's just me. I mean most of my egalitarian beliefs is to prevent riots and **** like this from spilling into society. Ultra-wealthy are too greedy. Ultra-poor too listless and destitute.

    Idiocracy or purge, here we go!

    Apparently she adopted 2 from Haiti and the youngest has Downs, which she knew before hand.

    I checked their ages and the youngest was born in 2012. She was mostly a professor until she became an appellate judge in 2017.

    we’re criticizing peoples’ family choices now?

    I believe two are adopted. How many adopted children do you have?

    It is completely irrelevant to the topic. But yes, I will criticize people that choose to have 7 children.

    My one aunt and her family had 12. It was a different time and I love all of them.

    that came out too harshly. But she is Catholic, and believe it or not there are Catholics (and others) who still believe it is a gift to bring children into the world

    It's a sliding scale depending on how many acres you have to farm.

    I don't know, really. These days, zero is a good number. Adopting is always admirable.

    In a more micro analysis, I like the idea of one or two. But also the idea of five. One or two is manageable. Five is a built in clan and support group.

    In a macro sense, the world doesn't need more humans. The fewer the better.

    I do find it gross to have people mindlessly celebrating large families, regardless.

    Always interesting - and scary and sad - when (leftist) teachers say this (I just saw a leftist German teacher being quoted on Twitter with a very similar statement).

    Makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside to know that these are the kinds of people teaching our children.

    It is, in part, because I value the lives of children that I believe that.

    So have plenty of other people who don't have 7 children, but I give her props for adopting two of them.

    My son has 5. Increases the odds of someone to take care of me in another 20 years.
