Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
ita, I won't tell you the results, but it ended up being the longest match in Australian Open history.

The manager in the next department over sits two aisles from me, yet I can hear her better than I can the person in the next cubicle. Her volume knob is stuck on "10" today, and it'd driving me crazy!! She keeps on shouting questions to her minions and they shout back at her, or she'll be on the phone and I can hear every other word very clearly. Again, she's more than forty feet from me, and there are multiple cubicle walls in between us.
Grrrrr.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
many many many people have to say about gay couples having children, single parent adoptions, etc.
I think there is a huge difference between expanding the traditional definition of family and this situation, and equating the two really does a disservice to the first one .
I don't get to say "how people build their own families is their own business" unless I mean it all the time.
I do see your point, but again, I think there is a very real difference here.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Because someone tried to have a seventh child?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Man, Nadal can certainly work. My recording will probably run out before the second set is complete--do I spoil myself, or wait and see if ESPN2 re-airs it?
I don't get to say "how people build their own families is their own business" unless I mean it all the time.
So there's no way someone can build a family that's irresponsible? No way at all? That seems unlikely.

In these circumstances (or rather these circumstances as reported; as Kat points out, we may not be getting the full story), yes.

But we don't know that that's what happened. We may never.

I'm pretty judgey about birthing anything more than 2 kids in the last decade. Also on anyone continuing to have more kids by any means if they need government assistance to get by.

Because books.

As Perkins said, in this case -- given what's been reported so far -- I would say yes. Raising kids is a lot more than cute babies. It's, as Strega said, human lives. Does this woman have the resources to raise even six kids well? No way to know. But once again, I'll say if you really want to parent as many kids as you can, if you have that kind of love to give, ADOPT. There are too many children out there *right now* who could use a family.
