I think it's one of the better shows for understanding the mind of middle America.
| No, it doesn't!  What the Duggar family exemplifies are the issues of fundamental Christians, home schooling and right wing, fringe loonies. They are not the average middle class American family. They are however, a perfect example of how George W. Bush got into office twice; because they believed his line of crap about family values.  Quote: | No, they're doing it because God wills it and nothing, not even the needs of the children, come before the will of God. |  I'm not sure that's true here. The children all appear physically healthy. They go to doctors. They don't just sit home and pray for a broken bone to mend. What I worry about is the emotional and social development of these children. By only associating with other people who think and behave as they do the children are woefully unprepared to function in normal American society. |
