The great depression was triggered by the bankers (the private federal reserve in our case) like the current one in order to consolidate power and wealth and to usher in a new era. people couldn't eat becasue there was no money, the bankers had contracted the money supply severely and foreclosed on many farms.

The American Mid-west had a drought which literaly caused the topsoil to dry up and blow away. So the depression wasn't just caused by a shortage of money although that was a contributing factor since the resources that were available were not being distributed.<br /><br />Anna There was a shortage of resources during the depression.

There was no shortage of resources in the Depression. People just didn't have the money to buy them. Farmers could still produce the same crops, if they could afford fertilizer, etc. But often they could not sell what they grew.<br/><br/>But the hunger is true. I've several times encountered stories of young men who joined the CCC or the Navy, and were just dazzled by "Three squares a day, and all you can eat!" A minor point.

Both sets of my grandparents were conceiving children during the Depression--and had two children each. Two of those children married each other (of course)and the other two married other individuals. These three families conceived children after WWII: my paternal uncle married very late, and had three. My maternal uncle married in his twenties, and had six. My father and mother had 7. Not a Catholic in the bunch, and I would say the resources available greatly influenced their decisions. I would agree with your grandfather.

There is a large number of pop. control advocates who seem convinced that sexual self-control and continence is both unhealthy and impossible. Which, I think, says much more about the personal lives and problems of such advocates than it does the state of humanity. katlros – indeed.
