all those kids are "Arrows for God" or whatever that group called them. It's on the tip of my tongue, but just can't get to it right now. Have all the kids the mother can push out, regardless of what it does to her body, and each one of them is a "quiver" for God, once they were reared correctly. Quiverfull... THAT was the name of the group, I think. Ridiculous notion. We need more people working once they're of age... and in good careers. But that doesn't have to mean quiverfulls of evangelical kids; it DOES mean we need to go back to a good immigration policy and decent government assistance for families!

And while I've always heard large families are fun-filled chaos by nature, I very much preferred to being the oldest of three children. THAT was chaotic enough for me at times... my brother was a real pistol growing up.
