Couldn't have said it better myself

I was really good about restraining myself during the election so I hope you'll excuse this post....

Frank Rich in an op/ed piece last week.

They Sure Showed That Obama

"This G.O.P., a largely white Southern male party with talking points instead of ideas and talking heads instead of leaders, is not unlike those “zombie banks” that we’re being asked to bail out. It is in too much denial to acknowledge its own insolvency and toxic assets. Given the mess the country is in, it would be helpful to have an adult opposition that could pull its weight, but that’s not the hand America has been dealt."

Life Without Children

An article on infertility in the New York Times is just one of many on the subject.

Why are we working so hard to make more babies when our planet already has 3 times+  the number of people it is capable of supporting?

We would have no energy problems, no food crises, no potential water wars  and much less of an issue with climate change, if there were fewer people on the planet.

The scariest part of is we've known this for half a century and in that same period of time have developed extraordinary technology to make more babies.

And yes adoption is a solution. Until we've found homes for all of the children who need them, adoption is most certainly a wonderful option.

You've all seen that video of the man who got hit by a car in Hartford, yes?

When that video came on, Heidi started barking trying to get my attention. You gotta love it.
