"Having kids would be wonderful, honey. But they might hack us to death and steal our money when they are older. We'd best not." I understimated the originality in your thinking, bambu.

We tried.
I wasn't keen...had just left the war of high school, the war of fighting with father with screaming matches in the living room most nights over the Vietnam war draft ["nuke em", "forcing me into the military is Nazi Germany", "all the way with LBJ, baaah"...I said], …..and a few short years later I was then gonna have to fight with toddlers, 9 yr olds, 12 yr olds, then teenagers...my head was hurting from the pain.
But as a dutiful Christian boy ["go forth and procreate" or whatever it is] and dutiful husband I went along with the idea.
Many miscarriages later [women in the family had lots of trouble ] I went off the idea.
I went totally off the idea when a man at work informed me that women die in pregnancy and childbirth.

More men die at work in many jobs.

But I think you made the right call - viewing it as you did as war would have made it hell for any offspring you might have had.

On the issue of current immigration law...

We need to change the law to reflect who we are as Americans. President Reagan made our immigrants legal, so that they could come out of the shadows, and so that they could call the police in the case of an emergency, and so that they could join labor unions, etc.

Right now the poor immigrants are afraid of the police. We do not want our people to fear the cops. The cops are there to serve them and to protect them. And many cops are Latino-Americans. We need to make our immigrants legal.

We need to change our laws to reflect who we are as Americans. And that is what self government is all about. We get to make our own laws. We need to make our immigrants legal like President Reagan did, and we need to create new laws to make it easier for immigrants to come to the USA legally, especially for our good Christian neighbors here in the Western Hemisphere.

We must not allow Trump to make us fear our own government in our own country, or to spread hate. Walls and cages are hateful, they certainly are not about love. We need to come from a place of love.

Salute,

Tony V.

Speaking of racism and White privilege....

All over talk shows etc in America, reportedly..."racist Australia in action again"

http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/green-is-the-only-colour-that-matters-at-crown/ar-AAFzgdK?li=AAgfLCP&OCID=AVRES000

Green is ‘the only colour that matters’ at Crown

Sky News host Rita Panahi has slammed basketball star Ben Simmons’ “baseless claims of racism” after he posted a video condemning Crown casino staff for requesting his ID when his white friend was not asked.

Crown's security policy is to check the ID of anyone who could be under 25, and Ms Panahi noted Mr Simmons is under 25 and looks it.

As a regular at the Crown complex’s dining venues herself, Ms Panahi said walking through Crown you will see “the most ethnically diverse clientele and staff imaginable”.

She said it’s “bizarre” to think a venue full of people from all backgrounds “would indulge in racial profiling”, especially at a casino where “the only colour that matters is green”.

“Ben Simmons and his woke sister want you to check your privilege,” she said. “But what’s more privileged than a pampered 23-year-old earning more than $240 million to play basketball playing the victim because for a few minutes he was treated like everybody else?”

It is a war.
Supernanny Jo showed us that;

Any offspring of mine would've been fine as children, and when they became adults they'd have been making their own decisions.
I would've been the wreck. lol
Tell you one thing, they would never have been allowed to speak to their mother like I see kids today [including adult children] speaking to theirs.
bambu the banker...not likely to get ripped off by family or anyone else.

I wasn't married to a man.
The thought of losing my wife in pregnancy and childbirth was too much to bear...so I suggested adoption.
Local adoption...long waiting list.
Overseas...not encouraged, and made far too difficult.
So we 'raised' the neighbours' children instead.
Always had children in the home.
"Your soup is much nicer than mommy's soup".
Little dogs to play with, ice cream, extra food for dinner if still hungry from dinners at their homes.
Shopping with mrs bambu…"now you must be good"...good with mrs bambu...play up merry hell when with own mother/s.

Only could visit inside when mrs bambu was home.
I played games out in the front yards with them … wouldn't want people getting the wrong idea, would we.

No, but you were one, in theory.

So, you disproved the notion that nobody looks out for anybody but themselves first.

Thank you.

Too bad you won't be able to see it.

Well, then there's hope for the future, Down Under. Won't have your genetic material passing on. Blessings for all.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/08/politics/fso-resigns-washington-post-op-ed/index.html

A foreign service officer resigned from the State Department effective Thursday, writing in a blistering op-ed in The Washington Post that he could no longer serve in "The Complacent State," particularly in the wake of the El Paso mass shooting.

Chuck Park wrote in the op-ed that during his almost 10 years in the foreign service he "worked to spread what (he) believed were American values: freedom, fairness and tolerance."

"But more and more I found myself in a defensive stance, struggling to explain to foreign peoples the blatant contradictions at home," he wrote.

Park said that after the election of President Donald Trump, he had remained "complacent" and had "let career perks silence (his) conscience."

That's very sad.  I honestly don't know how Holocaust descendants live with it.
