The more I think it may be my duty to the mores of the nation to have a zillion kids.

Yeah, I want a bunch of kids, too.
ReplyDeleteI think part of the reason for this kind of hatred is an almost unconscious realization that people with that many kids are probably not as selfish as oneself. Thus the projection of selfishness onto the family, and lame attempts to criticize them for having too large an ecological footprint. Of course, an obvious part of the hatred is that people disagree with the way the kids are being raised, and don't think parents have a fundamental right to raise their own children.
While I might be angry that liberal person X is raising his kids to think that abortion is good, or that trees are more valuable than people, I don't seethe that he is able to teach his children that. Rather, I see that it is my responsibility to persuade him and his children that those positions are wrong.
