I think your response is awesome, and I totally agree.
You know I want a soccer team worth of kids. My good friend and his new wife are super environmentalist (as am I, but they're even more so - she worked in Paraguay in sustainable development and now does the same thing here) and they only want two kids because they believe in only replacing themselves. In a totally separate conversation, someone was saying how Orthodox Christianity is dying out in the land of its birth (in the Middle East) partially because the Muslims simply have more children than the indiginous Christians. So ever since Geoff got engaged, I've been ribbing him about his "responsibility" to keep us Orthodox from dying out. He says I can make up for his lack of procreation, but I have so many friends that have told me that, I'm going to have to have 20 kids just to replace them all! COME ON PEOPLE, YOU CAN ONLY EXPECT SO MUCH FROM ME! Haha!
