6 billion people on the planet and climbing...I daresay we can drop the birthrate to zero world-wide for several generations before we have start to worry about such things.

Except those of us who would like to have a workforce around for the next few decades to help subsidize our Social Security checks and massive health-care bills.

Less people for more jobs means we can demand higher salaries. Higher salaries, larger taxes. It works out. ;D

Jeeeze...I hope things will improve. "As many as God will give us" my ass.

Ditto. :-\ Such men are always really good about how many children "God will give us", when they don't have to mess with the children.
Letting God do his will is basically letting nature take its course. If it meant his death or his health was at risk, I daresay he'd interrupt God's will with medical treatment and surgery, but not when it comes to family planning and birth control.
Wonder why that is? >:(
I'm so so sorry Lee that you find your daughter married to a man whose attitude harkens back to the 16th century and Martin Luther who famously said,
"If they [women] become tired or even die, that does not matter. Let them die in childbirth, that's why they are there."

--- End quote ---
That's what I was thinking, reusable/cloth diapers not creating as much trash as disposables. Water is a renewable resource (except maybe in Texas right now :( ), and it's possible to use environmentally friendly soap. There is, of course, the question of power used to heat the water and run an automatic machine.
I sure hope Lee's daughter doesn't have to use a warshboard! :o
But this is really OT, so let be, let be.
