'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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?
That depends. Where are you going?
Indiana. Visiting Nana and Grandpa this weekend.
it does not mean you are President. good lord, woman.
That Perkins. Give her an inch...
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.
Or maybe she likes the disapproving glances.
You never know with Perkins. She's contrary like that.

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.
I'm totally judgey about that woman. And many many other people. On a daily basis. ...as someone else said, that doesn't mean I think we should legislate against like, the number of embryos to be implanted, or whatever. That would be ridic.
Likewise, I am totally prochoice when it comes to abortion. Bring 'em on. Don't stand in my way, protestors! ...but that doesn't mean I'd necessarily get one, nor does it mean if you choose not to I think you're stupid. Or that if you choose to get a whole bunch of them, I'm not going to judge you and think "learn how to use the freakin' birth control perhaps?!?!". Ahem. ...I still think you should be ALLOWED.
Judgey McJudgerson, that's me!
