I'm going to guess that you don't have any children. One thing that being a parent changes in people, is that they have more concern for the future. It matters what happens in the world. The most intimate connection a human has to the future of the race is one's own child. Saying that the impulse to influence and protect the future through one's progeny is a "so what"...just tells me you already gave up

Nice, except that's not what you originally said.

You originally posted: Theoretically, your estate could be dissipated among people who have no blood relation to you whatsoever within 2 generations if gay marriages are upheld.

To which I replied: So what? That happens now. People adopt, decide not to have kids, or blow the inheritance before it can be handed down.

I agree that children are important, and I agree that parents' primary responsibility is the welfare of their child. But I don't consider what my children decide to do with my money after I'm dead to be that important. Even if they decide to leave it to persons who "no blood relation to (me) whatsoever."

That's too bad because one of the largest incentives we have in life is securing a better welfare for the future than the one we have in present.

But since you won't be around to see it, I guess it doesn't matter.
