people should have kids and more of them

Seems like a personal choice. I can name plenty of people who are trying to have kids and can't. And more than a few who didn't try to have kids but got them anyway. I also see a lot of kids showing up in foster programs, homeless shelters, and prisons.

Perhaps the problem isn't that we don't have enough kids. Perhaps we're just doing a shit job of caring for the kids who already exist.
