They are always trying to make sure that the US isn't taken over by "minorities." Crazy notions. <BR/><BR/>I agree with your post. Like you, I come from a large family (you probably know that). I love kids even though I don't want a lot of them. Having kids should be more about loving them & being able to take care of them. Some people are fine with 1 others do well with 10. Deciding not to have any can be tough, but for some it is best.Freckle Face Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324960438835000817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738167594002469989.post-45441023825885772912007-12-13T02:42:00.000-08:002007-12-13T02:42:00.000-08:00Given the carbon footprint of each new person, the...Given the carbon footprint of each new person, the amount of effort it takes to raise a child, and the fact that many foreigners would like to immigrate but it's hard to assimilate them, the truly responsible choice is obvious: instead of having kids, spend your energy and resources volunteering (or working) for schools or other social services for immigrants.<BR/><BR/>I don't think having two or three kids of your own is a selfish choice, but it isn't a selfless choice either, nor is it a responsibility.C.
