    I’m not the world’s biggest fan of barbecue, and I certainly don’t care for grits, but what is it to you? One of the beautiful things about our country is the diversity between different regions. Southerners have their own vibrant regional culture, and one part of most cultures is food. I’m sure you (like me) could find an Italian or Indian restaurant, if those foods appeal to you, there in (presumably) Northern Florida. Just appreciate that these people have a slightly different culture than those ‘out West’.

    It’s because they are rude bigots who cannot understand nor tolerate anything they are not used to, or that they conceive to be economically ‘inefficient’ or out of style (and respect to begin with). While there are lower-class ‘welfare’-type families in which promiscuity is rampant and a child has many half-brothers and -sisters, many large families exist because of the generosity of the mother and father, often in response to the requirement of their religion (and natural law). Rather than ‘limit it’ to one or two for selfish reasons or economic opportunity, they choose to accept the gifts God gives them, and should be honored for that. You can talk about a ‘burden to society’, but in many of the devoutly religious families these children come from, they are raised to be anything but that. A child is not a cost, a child is a gift, and society must realize that. A few rare ones might claim the couple is exacerbating the so-called ‘overpopulation’ problem, but realize we have the sufficient resources to sustain the current and a growing population, at least those which I know of – food, space, etc., especially in the United States, where you and I are from, a land that still has endless wide open-spaces and ag. surpluses. So basically, ignore what these people say.
