stabilizing the population won't fix the problems by itself , but we can't solve the problems if we keep adding 200,000 more human beings to the planet every day
and we need to do all we can to incentivize young people everywhere to delay having their first child.....the longer women delay having their first child the fewer children in total they have

It sounds to me as though your awesome daughters are the ones who have 'done their part' and you're trying to take credit for their restraint, restrain which you could not seem to muster yourself.
Just a point.
Be proud of your kids...don't try to steal their luster or take overmuch credit for their virtues.
(Just my unsolicited, free advice, which is probably worth as much as the charge! )

We all do what we can.
Congratulations again on what sounds like an excellent family!

The wealthy think they can isolate themselves with their money. This is the mindset that has to be changed...

The poor ALWAYS feel the most pain. I think it is completely useless to mention who feels the pain.

What are your handguns and rifles going to do against a modern well armed potent military ?
