Maybe we should implement that Chinese "one-child policy" that forbade families from having more than one child? Oh wait... that only resulted in female babies being thrown away/dumped because the majority of families wanted male babies to cary on their "legacy" (blech). That won't work then... ugh.VeganRabbithttp://www.veganrabbit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-65023379825417322092012-01-25T06:28:43.669-06:002012-01-25T06:28:43.669-06:00Thank you for commenting Lisa.

What I find depressing is that even in light of the toll our overconsumption and overpopulation is taking on our environment, our resources, and the species that co-habitate on earth with us, the American government continues to incentivize marriage and procreation, in the form of tax incentives. In my opinion, this needs to stop.
