In defense of the right to procreate, I think if the parents are supporting these children then it's no one's business how many children they have. Where is the outrage with welfare mom's who make a business out of popping out babies so they can get support money for them? There are plenty of people in this country who choose not to have children so I don't think the Duggars should be blamed for using up too many resources.
When I was young, the social agenda of the time was to limit each family to only two children, just enough to replace the parents. I bought into that, thinking it would bring about a better society. Well obviously it was all a sham because we imported millions upon millions of immigrants most of which believe in at least three or four children.
I look at this family and I see happy well adjusted kids. At least the Duggar family works as a team. Responsibilities are given to those who are old enough to walk. As far as the homeschooling goes, what's the big deal? They seem like they're fairly bright. I know that the family is not the norm but why should that be laughable? They are simply in a time warp. A hundred years ago a family that size would not be too far out of the norm.
At the risk of being attacked and made fun of myself, I would like to say it is refreashing to see this family, I think they're wonderful.
I may not know a lot about theater but I know that I love it.
