I, fully, agree with you about science
but
for all of human existance there have been 'haves'
and 'have-nots'.

Root cause = bullying.
Should we cherish this?
Not in my humble opinion.
Need is normal.
Telling poor people to shove thier needs where the sun don't shine and
suck-up creates crime where there doesn't need to be crime.

Human 'fire' can be vented through sports instead

If we can just spread the meme that
one does not need to have ANY children,
it will work.

When I say good luck enforcing that I mean to be sarcastic. You're telling people to defy their nature. The smart play is to improve their quality of life so that they needn't think it necessary to have so many kids.

Dahling, I KNEW that you that were being sarcastic.

Religious people feel that they have to have many kids
and
poor people END UP have more kids than they want or need.

We all defy nature when we CHOOSE to not pee on ourselves.
MANY things that defy nature are worth the effort -
not all but this one is

Rich people run away from information that they don't like.
They are not brave or worthy.
Cocooning oneself in Pretendsville is not noble.

Birthcontrol is still the best answer - overall
I was at a bbq once, and a wealthy older couple was there. The guy was on about his fifth beer, in a conversation about business and what not, and says, "What's money, anyway? Money's only important to people who don't have it.". Most of the guests were union workers. You could feel the air leave the room.

This was in the late '90s, btw. He might have gotten killed for saying that now.

BTW, re: Real Time, maybe I'm getting burnt out on politics. I dunno. But anymore, I'm just watching the final 20 minutes or so to catch the tail end of the round table, and New Rules. I hope I'm in the minority, because I don't want this show to get canceled. But I just can't watch people talk politics for an hour, anymore. Unless there's someone like a George Carlin on the panel.

No, that's not why people have more kids. It's about hoping some survive to adulthood. That's why most children around the world are born. And because people understandably want to be taken care of when they're old.

I watch it all, but I get what you mean. Especially when republicans and Hillary supporters start talking and you know within the first three words that they're completely out of touch with reality.

It is also, VERY hilarious that you think that children, even as adults, take GOOD care of their parents!

These really are good thoughts but,
only those in the upper strata of money actually believe that most people ACTUALLY get this

I agree with you.
I avoid most political talk because so little of it
is from anywhere but someone else's brain.

I don't want to click on a youtube link or read what soemone else wrote in the news.
Bring own thoughts to the table, please.
I, also, watch the show with much less vigor now.

I understand that Mr. Maher enjoys spending most of his days
buried in titties and Hollywood gossip.
His mistake is thinking that his fans really want that to be the
main serving of his comedy.
I think that he, also, has to lick MUCH ass to get people to come on his show
which is understandable.

Really, the spin doctors need seriously slicing and few people,
even Bill Maher are capable because it almost has to be done on the fly and VERY few people have THAT skill and bravery
