A beautiful treatise on the joys of large families by
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach is found on WorldNetDaily.

Following is one thought provoking quote, but I urge
you to read the article in its entirety.

"Let's not finesse the response. We all know why.
A world that has lost its innocence has trouble
appreciating beings who are innocent. A world that
has become selfish has soured to the idea of leading
a life of selflessness. A world that has become grossly
materialistic is turned off to the idea of more dependents
who consume resources. And a world that mistakenly
believes that freedom means a lack of responsibility is
opposed to the idea of needy creatures who 'tie you down.'"
