… doesn’t mean they are not out to get you.
Example 1: A college student complains that her landlord is spying on her with cameras. Her college’s solution? Have her locked up for two weeks in the nut house. Her landlord’s solution? Keep watching the monitor connected to the camera he was using to spy on her.
Example 2: You and your wife have a 14-year-old daughter who functions at the level of a 2-year old, and cannot speak. Your 13-year-old son has Aspergers. The cops solution? Use a Ouija board to prove that the father has been raping the daughter for years and the wife has been standing by. Bonus strategy: terrorize the Aspergers kid into crying. Huzzah: township pays out a $1.8 million settlement, but admits no wrongdoing.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Example 2 is one of the many reasons my wife and I have chosen not to have kids. It gives the government to much of an inroad into controlling your life.
Of all the bad reasons I’ve heard for not having kids, this one takes the cake.
If it weren’t for Government making it difficult for me to have guns, I’d have a whole lot less than I do. Because I will rage against the dying of the light.
And no, I don’t have kids either. But that’s because I’m selfish, no other reasons at all.
Agreed, that’s not a good reason for not having kids. There are some good reasons – poverty, the likelihood of passing on bad genes, just plain not liking kids, are all better reasons.
My own reason for not having kids (being chick-repellant) seems wholly satisfactory, and puts the responsibility on nobody else.
