My brother says the same thing, he won't breed because he sees disaster for the next generation, of course he is a socialist and an educater, two groups that always see the end of the world right around the corner. (griff puts away his broad brush) I don't see it that way any more. We have kids because they will be a positive counter force to two common trends in child rearing, the over protected and the ignored. We're raising two sweet, tough, counter culture, individualists. I've seen quite a few of these kinda kids out in the world and I'm optimistic. (of course I just got back from showing my daughters baby chicks to her kindergarten class and theres nothing like being the big hero in a room full of 5 year olds to put you in a good mood)
