1. Look in an 18th and 19th century graveyard. Many women died young, often in childbirth. You could have many kids - if you were rich - because you could afford another wife. And 90% of the population were farmers - another reason to have more.

Now most large familys are due to the dole. You have got immigrants on welfare with 10 kids, two wives here and waiting to sponser another dozen kids from overseas.. When did being open to "huddled masses" start to promote polygamy?

2. This still counts in Manhattan. Even if they don't wear a tie (and think they are getting away with something) - these big shots are in $3,000 suits. This business casual crap should go away as the 'boomers die off..

3. True enough.
