With so many kids parentless, living in squalor and abject poverty, along comes child #17.  Jesus.  Or rather, Jennifer Danielle.


Let's start here.  Let's follow that with this, part of which I quote below:

Let us be clear: I don't care what sort of God you believe in, it's a safe bet that hysterical breeding does not top her list of desirables. God does not want more children per acre than there are ants or mice or garter snakes or repressed pedophilic priests. We already have three billion humans on the planet who subsist on less than two dollars a day. Every other child in the world (one billion of them) lives in abject poverty. We are burning through the planet's resources faster than a Republican can eat an endangered caribou stew. Note to Michelle Duggar: If God wanted you to have a massive pile of children, she'd have given your uterus a hydraulic pump and a revolving door. Stop it now.

Ah, but this is America, yes? People should be allowed to do whatever the hell they want with their families if they can afford it and if it's within the law and so long as they aren't gay or deviant or happily flouting Good Christian Values, right? Shouldn't they? Hell, gay couples still can't openly adopt a baby in most states (they either lie, or one adopts and the other must apply as "co-parent"), but Michelle Duggar can pop out 16 kids and no one says, oh my freaking God, stop it, stop it now, you thoughtless, selfish, baby-drunk people.


The Duggar family offends me like nothing else on this planet.  Thankfully, someone with a rather larger public voice than mine said something.  The last paragraph sums up my feelings pretty well - especially the part I highlighted in red.

(And for God's sake, after 17 kids, how can she manage enough traction to get anything smaller than a watermelon to ejaculate and knock her up?)

They probably should. Unfortunatley, the Duggars can't. The only way that they get by is with donations and funding from the voyeurs who give the shows on Discover channel (or whatever) their ratings. I'm secretly hoping that one of the older kids has an existential meltdown after they leave the nest.

The next Social Darwinian challenge (or Marxist "class" challenge) will be the educated versus the not (or the Senseful versus the Senseless, if you prefer) and I think it's already started. The real challenge there is that, statistically, morons outbreed the more circumspect.*
