... for a vast number of Germans and Americans and people all over the world, a life without children would be incomplete.I especially identify with this perspective on young children. To my astonishment, I have not encountered this anywhere else in the blogosphere. Daily when I see young children and babies, I react with a thinly disguised horror as to what kind of future they face. Their proud parents simply refuse to acknowledge (or repress) the future chamber of horrors their children will experience.
And therein lies the crux. Most of us who make that decision are thinking less about that new baby’s future than about our own futures … our own happiness … our own sense of fulfillment. Of course, we plan to do everything within our power to give that child a good life.
Unfortunately, it no longer lies within our power to give those babies a secure future, as I see it.
in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
