Tagically, you speak the truth. I got the up-close and personal treatment by the industry many years ago and consider myself lucky to have a relationship with my one and only child. It burns me up to no end that the one person on this planet that I cheerish the most is nothing but cannon-fodder to a manipulative ex-wife and a power hungry joint venture of government and the private sector.
After the most recent sausage aenima by the industry two years ago, I went and had a vasectomy, even though the last time I dated anyone, the democrats controlled the House, Senate, and the White House. A little unconfortable for a week or so, but worth the peace of mind, knowing that once I finish raising my child, the industry will never have a hold on me again.
I feel great about the fact that no woman is ever going to stick me for child support, as long as I dont do something as foolish as to marry a single mother. I understand that in some states, you can be stuck paying child support for STEP-CHILDREN if they become accustomed to your standard of living.
Two things: No marriage and no children, mean no government control over your money or your life, and you dont end up having to buy a house for someone you hate.
