Knowing Where You Stand

We talked about some interesting stuff in class yesterday.  I mean, we always talk about interesting stuff, but yesterday's stuck out to me, because it had to do with a topic that I think any family advocate is familiar with; population.
An argument that I think many are familiar with is that couples should limit how many children they have.  That the world is over-populated as it is, and parents that have several children are just adding to the problem. 
Apparently, as we discussed in class, if you took every nuclear family in the world, gave them each one acre to live in, we could all fit in Texas.  Hmm.  Sort of makes the whole idea of not enough space for all the people a little less powerful, doesn't it?
