A story in todays paper tells of a Lexington woman who was jailed under a $50,000 bond because she had 5 kids living in a house with no running water and no air conditioning.
What should have been the crime was having five kids between the ages of 1 and seven. That's 5 children in six years folks and while not too many per se, it is too many if one can not afford to raise them.
Exactly how long has the world been blessed with air conditioning and running water? In thde scheme of things, not long at all. Both my parents grew up in homes like that. In fact my mom's mom didn't gett indoor plumbing until the mid sixties and I don't believe the home has air conditioning yet.
