I thought some of you would enjoy this article I just came across.

I think I understand what she's saying here. The prologue to the movie Idiocracy explains it nicely:

Warning: The clip contains some crude language.

Of course, you don't want the "smart" people running around popping out more kids than they can handle, either. I'm sure we all know of wealthy, smart people who had kids and then never spent any time with them for whatever reason.

I mean, really, is anyone "qualified" to raise kids?! Every mother out there has their own horror stories.

But I guess I see what you're trying to say. I just got offended because I fall into that group where everyone is pestering me about when I'm going to have kids and I get touchy about it.

And so ... physicians don't see patients on the sabbath? Hospitals shut down on Sunday? Urgent care clinics no longer serve patients on Sunday?

Get real!

Yes, that's one that I find unreal! If we all take the Sabbath off, who takes care of the patients?

While I agree with the 10 commandments as they are actually written in the Bible, I feel that the person who interpreted meanings on that site was incorrect about their applications. I think this person is also very clueless about vital healthcare issues- do we really need to be told not to take sexual advantage of our patients, really?

No offense to the Catholics on this board, but the Church would be better served by focusing on the sexual exploits of its own clergy, than worrying about if I choose to use some birth control. Honestly, talk about trying to pluck the straw from my eye when there is a rafter in yours!

Off topic, but thank you for posting this. After watching the clip, I went out and rented Idiocracy today.
