No - it isn't about my wants or my legacy - it is about standards of behavior and honor. I have raised my children to respect those standards and to live up to them. Being a parent is all about courage and sacrifice and I would expect my children to do no less than I have and the long line of tough, courageous ancestors who went before them. My father and both uncles served in WWII, both grandfathers served in WWI, several served in the Civil War, one served on George Washington's staff during our revolution.
Too good a family/genetic chain to deadend so I can buy a BMW.

Bump! Those who reproduce own the future. I know several good Christian families who are doing their part to make the future. Those who don’t have children better hope and pray other people aren’t so selfish, because someone has to make the children that the selfish narcissists are counting on to wipe their butts when they’re old and gray. Shoot! Maybe Obamacare isn’t so bad after all. A shot of morphine and one more useless leftist is sent to their secular god...
