Well they do and they aren't getting any smarter. Think about this: if the median IQ is 100, that means half the people are below that, and if you go South of the Mason Dixon line, It's probably 75-85%. Thats a lot of kids to put in CPS, Are you up for the increases in your taxes that would entail? Lazy Idiots are a fact of life. Unless you are willing to affect the "ultimate solution" IE. Nazi extermination camps, they are here to stay, go ahead, let out your Nazi rants, lets just kill them all so the rest of us can live an intelligent life, after all, they are less than human, right!
Once you pull out the "Nazi" card, you've lost your case.

I have nothing against giving a parent a break if they really have a problem beyond their control - but this sense of entitlement that parents AND their offspring have these days is very trying on the patience of their tax-paying non-parent benefactors like me. I'm paying for their kids' schools, lunch programs, health care, tax breaks, etc., and I don't own a car or a house or any of the things that many of these parents have. It's enough - and if another Clinton, or a similar type like Edwards gets in the White House, there will be another change after their term is up - with more cutbacks than now. It goes in cycles, thankfully.

Lazy idiots should not have children, unless they have the money - or private charities willing to supplement their hobby. I'd like our taxes to pay people to get sterilized - give them a thousand bucks and a new color TV. Then maybe we'd see something positive happen.

The stupider people are, the more kids they have. Edwards didn't mention, in his homily, how many brothers and sisters the fictional 10 year-old-girl had.

P.S. I'm East Coast born and raised, going many generations back, and even I resent your comment about the supposed lower I.Q in the South. The stupider people are, the more kids they have.
