I'm Sick of the Michelle Duggar Posts Trashing a Woman for the Children she Produces!

[cui bono]

69. Nope. That's not right at all. You brought up the word monster.

I think it makes her and her husband selfish and irresponsible. And probably ignorant. I would like to think that educated people would understand how an ecosystem works and that there are things it just can't handle. Overpopulation being one of the biggest things it can't handle.

I just like to think about other people and their needs besides myself and mine. I'm not so self absorbed that I would choose to do something reckless that could harm the whole of humanity. I like to think of the whole planet that hopefully many generations will be able to enjoy if we take care of it properly.

That's the same reason why I choose to reuse plastic bags/baggies until they get holes in them, turn out lights I don't need, use energy saving light bulbs, recycle everything I can, use as little paper as I can, etc... etc... etc... I'm not perfect but I make an attempt in pretty much every thing I do not to waste. It does not make my life easier at all, in fact it kind of adds more work and clutter, but I do it because it's the right thing to do.

I can't force anyone else to do it, but I can certainly be critical of them not thinking beyond their immediate world and not considering how their actions affect others.

It's the difference of having the "I can do anything I want and you can't tell me what to do" attitude and having a "I would love to do this but I won't do it because I care about how my actions affect my community and the world".
