I have three and we might have one more. Is my right – and desire – to have more children less important than your feelings about “Mother Earth?” Whose to say the food, water, etc. will run out? We are still here on Earth despite our best efforts to trash the place in generations past with the dumping of chemicals, belching smoke from factories, etc. Environmental controls and regulations have been in place for decades, and now they’re appearing to grow out of control, killing portions of industry with strict rules and fines that do little more than erode our economy. If anything, no one will be able to afford clean water, air and food because prices will be so high. Quit treating children as inconveniences and see them as the people they are!

Think I’m crazy? Ask yourself these 3 questions: a.) Where does my water come from? b.) How is my food produced? c.) Where does my trash go? If you are like 90% of Americans you will not have a clue. You just think that things magically appear and disappear, which is exactly what corporate culture wants you to do: make more kids, buy more things, and make them rich. WHEN IS “MORE” GOING TO BE “ENOUGH?”

OK, and not pro extinction, maybe one kid. I have friends who desperately want children because it’ll complete their lives. Honestly, why else do people procreate other than natural instinct? That yearning, its hormones coupled with a selfish desire. YOU want a child, YOU want a family, YOU may want to keep your marriage alive. But YOU dont care that this child your bringing into the world may be breathing toxic air one day. YOU dont wonder if there will be enough housing or jobs, and at the rate babies are being popped out there wont be.

And if you think I’m being mean, answer me this. If you wanted a child so badly why dont you adopt a child that was already on this earth and needs a home? No, instead you want to have a little hybrid of yourself and your partner, the ultimate form of narcissism.

I will be socially and environmentally responsible to this planet and my fellow man, although the latter doesn’t deserve it, and adopt should the overwhelming hormonal urge strike me. Until then, I am going to keep referring to irresponsible people as ‘breeders’, and hopefully it becomes fashionable to the point that guys keep their trousers on and women clamp their hymens shut. And pray, to whatever deity is listening with an ounce of godly sense, that somebody hurries up and puts something in the water.

I’m sorry, I don’t intend to get personal but doesn’t this sound selfish to you? If everyone thought like this, the world will surely come to an end faster.
