  1. Would you nag at a fish to swim if the fish obviously couldn't find any water to swim in? You're nagging at Americans to have kids and start families, but the Americans you are nagging at obviously can't find a suitable social or economic environment to work with. I mean, we've hit a point where the struggle to survive, when looking towards the future in America, is steeper than a 90°-incline hill. Having kids and starting a family is a collection of cozy fairytale fantasies, lost to American history, sometime between 1949 and 1982. Fail only slightly in any one of the crucial categories, and the whole ship sinks. As a metaphor, a prospective father and mother are both contestants in a game show that features more "whammies" than a Mr. Bill versus Sluggo tv series.

  2. In my travels around America, the "homegrown" solution that I keep being exposed to is nepotism. In other words, in just about every workplace in America, a count of about 1 to 8 families commandeers a workplace, by consistently staffing the entire "joint" with their own family members. For themselves, they secure long-term Job Security, which leads to them also starting and raising families. Personally, I think it is disgusting when managers hire their own kids.

  3. Maybe medical science would have better success if it took-up the challenge of making each and every living human immortal. I mean, if nobody ever died, then, in order to continue their family lineage, they really would have no need to procreate, would they?
