I agree, but who am I to decide such things.
Good people can fall on hard times.

I have an answer for you on that too: DARWIN

How silly.

Just on my little dead end road in the country (six homes), three families in their 20's and thirties all have 4-7 kids!! The couple that just moved from the end of the road had 11 kids, oldest in high school! Come to Texas, you'll be SURPRISED!! We went to some garage sales last weekend, one young woman had her five little kids with her! These are all white people!

That's incredibly surprising. I only know of one American family with 5 children (all grown up) and they are of Irish/Italian descent so maybe religion has something to do with that. Two is the most otherwise. I note numbers falling here and in the UK, due to costs- its too expensive to have the third. Although it appears sperm counts are on the decline also, and in general people seem to be having children later.
As for Sonya's original post. Greed- I attribute most problems to the greed of a certain few; the rest of us just get caught up in the current.

It's a good question.

Growth normally defines a healthy business. The goal of most business owners is the expand and grow the business.

Population growth and inflation pretty much dictates that a business must grow in order to survive, otherwise a competitor will move in and start chipping away at your base.

But there are always periods of no growth or loss of business, along with positive growth. It's a cycle.
