    Bigger love hath no man than this....

    Unwed motherhood (around 30% of all children) is strongly correlated with poverty and inability to marry. Do you think that's a good thing? -- shooter242

    You got any Bill Paxton in you, shooter dear? If so, we could cure the poverty problem by having all the unwed mothers marry you. (I'd be happy to bring the shotgun.)

    Of course, it would leave you less time for golf. That'd definitely be a good thing.

    Heh.
