It is a mystery, is it not, how the same fine and patriotic sages can complain at one moment that certain classes and colors of Americans are far far too fertile, (an article of laugh out loud humor in the case of those raffish and ribald Puerto Ricans) and then turn around and observe that "we" as a nation are underbabied. I dunno, but maybe they should switch to beans and rice. I eat lots of beans and rice and though it might seem anecdotal, well...I got more babies than some of you pathetic sods out there. Of course, I also might have benefitted from pre-conservative sex education in which it was suggested that suntanning is not the most productive use of testicles (there's this little issue of heat, for example...I mean didn't anyone tell those poor uneducated slobs that there's a reason they hang low when it gets hot?), and I'm probably in some special class, because although white and all that dreary stuff,, my family differs from the norm, as my grammatically strict ancestors instilled in us the unfashionable notion that parents who don't have kids are not, according to the ancient lore, quite properly defined as parents.
