When history writes its final chapter and the book on our beautiful big blue rock is closed, there will be one reality based finger that can be pointed at the culprit of our demise: The Duggars.
In a "surprising" recent development the Duggars have once again proven they are the most selfish, reckless, and dim-witted family in the nation....and that's saying a lot.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of TLC's "18 Kids and Counting" are expecting their 19th child.
Scoot over America. Get ready for 19 times the pollution, 19 times the wait at the grocery store, and 19 times the shortage of patterns for homemade ankle length denim skirts and consignment sale bargained matching polo shirts! Yippee!
Sustainably speaking, this family is a nightmare. The cute routine of, "look how we all live in the same house and take care of each other and then take trips all across the nation supporting our TV reality show habit (and paycheck)" has worn as thin as the ozone layer they contribute mightily to deplete.
Let's do the math, shall we.
By 2025 our planets population is expected to reach 8 Billion. By 2050 - almost 9 Billion. Now most of this growth is expected to occur in the developing world. Many countries that have unstable economies, leadership, and a high infant mortality rate will build on our own poor environmental track record and push us to the edge of extinction. But the U.S. is not to be outdone, especially when it comes to waste and excess. Thank God the Duggars are holding up their end of the bargain and over procreating for us.
Michelle Duggar is only 42 years old and with that water-slide uterus in play she could easily crowd another 2 or 3 bad haircuts into the Winnebago. That would take us to 22. Then, we have these children who have grown up in this freakishly fertile habitat. You've got to expect the majority of these offspring will unload more than their fair share of oxygen sucking, waste producing, conservative voting, environment destroying younglings into the global nest. Lets pray those kids don't turn out to be competitive breeders like their parents.
So if Mom reaches #22 and each little Duggar only has 5 kids (doubtful), that's 110 grandkids at the family barbecue in a few years. Raising the grand total to 134! Multiply that times food and water and trash and thick-headedness and you see where we are headed. I hope the population clock in Times Square gets a tune up soon.
But the Duggars are a bit of an anomaly on the planets propagation circuit. They have jobs, cash, and apparently the ability to feed and shelter the bunch (Thank you TLC). Since they aren't starving and asking for donations or on welfare people seem to think this is acceptable behavior. Since they can "support" this many kids - then they can do whatever they want. Free country and all that. However, the narrow vision of Jim Bob and Michelle can't be supported by Mother Nature. Sooner or later she is going to get so pissed off about the way we have treated this Garden of Eden that the milk and honey will cease to flow.
All you would-be Duggars pay attention here: You see, there is only so much of this place and God isn't making any more - especially after the way we have behaved. When you have too many children...lets say...19! You are literally taking a future away from someone else. Across the globe in a village you'll never see or have to care about there is someone without because of your gluttony and self-serving lifestyle.
The fact that we live in a global society can't be ignored anymore. Lets all aim for a little more personal reproductive responsibility.
I've got 2 words for you Jim Bob....Pull Out!

That is pretty funny!
