Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
yes you are Perkins - those people in Washington and in Sacramento and down at City Hall, they are just your representatives - YOU ARE government, we all are. (rising music) and if we don't take it upon ourselves to stand up.....
Does this mean they'll let me ride on airforce one?

I KNOW, right?
Maybe she didn't read the part where you and I have taken up residence in the high-thrones of judginess. Or maybe she likes the disapproving glances.

Also on anyone continuing to have more kids by any means if they need government assistance to get by.
What if they have zero kids? Do people too poor to get by on their own lose their (moral) right to reproduce? (I understand you don't want to take away their legal right. Would that include not taking away either their government benefits or their children?)

yes, I think it is irresponsible to have children if you are not able to support yourself.

You never know with Perkins. She's contrary like that.

Our wings are not tired.
I get nervous with the "too poor to have more children" talk because some of the best parents I know struggle on a monthly basis financially. And if you have to be solvent, that's sort of making a rule where only the middle-class or rich are allowed to have babies. I'm not cool with that.
I'm more inclined to be judgmental about the tolls on the Earth. And that is not related to one's financial well-being, it's fully related to the Earth's.
