But Jesse's carving the groups up by size as if that was the edge. If it's not an edge, then why divide along those lines? If it's an edge, it's either theoretically unfair to the taller or the shorter guys if you have a wide height spread because of outliers.
It was just a throwaway thought -- is there some way to divide humans into groups that makes sense, if gender isn't the way?
I'm not sure that's entirely right, since they're apparently part of Quiverfull, where women should be submissive, contraception is like abortion and having lots of children is a tool to obtain demographic superiority.
I haven't paid enough attention to what the Duggars actually say to know if this applies to them, but I don't mind people believing things I don't, as long as they can leave me alone to go another way. Aside from the "demographic superiority" bit, because I guess eventually they would take over the world, but I don't see that as an imminent threat.
My mouse clicks and keyboard tapping are the loudest thing in my office right now. I think I'm one of three people here.
David Bowie Bing Crosby!!
Is is wrong that I always want Bowie to dress up as the Goblin King to sing that?
Ooh, I need to rent Labyrninth.

I'm not even sure I see it as a realistic eventual threat - with 19 kids at home, who has time to go out and vote anyway?

Is there anything you wouldn't want him to dress up as the Goblin King to do?

Oh, I'm sure Jim Bob could make time. I mean, Michelle's home with the kids, and she won't be voting anyway, right?
they're apparently part of Quiverfull,
Huh. Wikipedia said the Duggars have explicitly disavowed any connection to Quiverfull; their impression of Quiverfull is that it's all about endless childbearing as a grim duty and an obligation, whereas they themselves are choosing to do it for pleasure. Still wildly excessive, but a slightly different flavor.

Like, say, renew a drivers license at the DMV?
I have a Quiverfull...
in my pants!
OK, that was a dumb joke, but maybe someone will laugh anyway....
I don't have any comment on Jesse's whackadoo plan but I did want to link to this article about what a huge difference T makes to athletic performance: [link]

I don't so much care about the existence of the movement, either, I just think the show is misleading. They have an extreme lifestyle, no doubt. But it's not because they just love children and happiness and puppies, you know? It's because they are warriors seeking to outnumber people of other beliefs. And the show doesn't ever address that. The commercials are nauseatingly cutesy.
