re: #109 palomino

Once again, you’re stuck in the thinking of a previous generation. Birthrates are way down, and one-child families are becoming the norm. Pseudo-sociological arguments about the Father Knows Best family of yesteryear do no good in the 21st century. You might as well bemoan the “loss” of B&W television and records on vinyl.

I am what I am, an older brother of a sister whom I love and spent a good deal of my younger days protecting. I am also one of my father’s parents 18 grandchildren and many of my generation have children of their own, several of them having 3 or more. I also know that one-child families being the norm is the track that leads to demographic doomsday.

So if I am old-fashioned it is because both my upbringing and convictions have lead me to be so. And I make apology for neither of those things.
