Yes, but there is always hope....

Hope for me? That's not hope I want and any hope that exists better be false hope.

You are the eternal optomist, Alex. That's why we love you so much! :D

Yes, I'm eternally optimistic that I won't have kids, I've worked hard to make sure that is what happens so anything else would be a disappointment.

Maybe I'm misreading your comments but it sounds like you think me reproducing would be the good outcome.

Well, to each his own. If you don't want kids, that's your option and I respect that. And I hope Lani is in agreement, of course.

But you are a bright guy, and what I've seen of you, your offspring should be a benifit to the world.

My wife and I chose zero population growth, and had one boy and one girl. Those who don't have any kids help the cause for those who choose big families (for those looking at the environmental impact of the subject).

But as for the gene pool, the robber who shoots his own nuts is the real low end, and as far as I'm concerned yours would be the upper end. (This isn't meant as false flattery, it's just my opinion).
