There is an accepted number of children in American.  Generally, it is two.  You can have three if you like and meet very little resistance.  Four is an oddity and if you hit five, you’re free game.  Every nosy relative, lady behind you in line at Costco, or oddball on the street feels free to make a comment hinting that you have probably over-procreated and need to stop soon.

Until now, the out-loud comments have been limited to people who lack social skills, but they’re moving mainstream.  Either that or the President is regularly hiring knuckle draggers.

I ran across this article outlining the beliefs of John P. Holdren, a senior science advisor to President Obama.  Mr. Holden, an award winning former Harvard professor, has written extensively about population control, including observing (erroneously) that children from large families have lower Intelligence Quotients than children from small families.

The article continues to illustrate that this bone head notion has since been debunked by real science – not the social engineering kind, but the kind with numbers and charts and colored graphs.  Nevertheless, Holdren still maintains that good government policies would have the result of decreasing family sizes.

Really?  Good government controls the size of peoples’ families?  Like China?

There is a wave of politicians, pointy headed professors and population control rinky dinks who would prefer you have a small family – not because science is on their side but because small groups of people are easier to control.

And yet they wonder why we cling to our guns and our religion.

Welcome to the age of The Compound, folks, where we are raising an army of free thinkers who welcome your underestimation of us, because in two generations there will be so many people who think like me that reason will once again join faith and nincompoops like this will be revealed as the statistical and functional fringe.
