Santorum Wants You to Go Forth and Multiply

It now appears that Rick Santorum is likely to be in the GOP presidential race for weeks, if not months, to come. If so, we should get to know him a little better. He just might be the next President of the United States.

It's not clear yet what he would do for our country, but it's increasingly clear what he would have you do for your country: Go forth and multiply.

Multiplying the least mentally fit among us is a detriment to all mankind. These are the people who should be offered free contraceptives.

6. Romney and Santorum each come from religious traditions that promote large families..

Historically Catholics and Mormons have had large families. I think the realities of modern life has changed that among most Catholics where birth control and smaller, more financially viable families are the norm. Mormons continue to promote large families and relish in how many generations they have. I have an elderly Aunt that proudly promotes that she has as many as 73 living offspring - her children, grand children and great-grandchildren.

The reality is the planet is over populated. We already exceed the capacity of this planet to feed and provide for those we have in terms of food, drinkable water, etc.

Continued overpopulation is inhuman and selfish.

There, I multiplied.

I agree that more Americans need to improve their math skills.
