I am childless by choice for the reason that I did not want to bring a child into - specifically - such a violent money-worshipping culture as we have in these United States and - generally - a world which is rapidly declining in quality of life with very little hope of improvement. Nearly every problem facing the world and the USA today has its roots in overpopulation. In fact, though most do not dare come out and say it because others can be quite abusive to you when they hear you talk about overpopulation, you can actually detect the "overpopulation causes..." in the recent special aired on PBS (created by NatGeo) "Strange Days on Planet Earth."

Countless are the times I have fervently thanked myself that I did not bring any children into this world to have to deal with the trash, offal, viciousness toward all living things, and pure sewage (literally) of two centuries of irresponsible non-stewardship of our formerly beautiful country.
