"They should not be allowed to breed..."

[fpb]

Anyone can say anything in a fit of anger. But to make such a claim in deadly earnest shows that you want to be God, deciding who lives and who doesn't - and that is the Devil's posture. Plus, on the practical side, you are postulating a state bureaucracy to decide who is allowed to breed and who is too - moronic, diseased, drugged, whatever - to have children. One doesn't have to be a state-hater to see that this is a very bad idea indeed.

But my fascist side thinks this every time I learn about parents who sell their children for drugs (and the creatures who buy them). The children who are killed or die from neglect put me in a similar state. And when I was fighting post-partum depression, I considered myself one of "them" every time I left my child in daycare to go to work. And I was leaving the babies with grandparents or the best daycare I could find. (Great caregivers who were more able to care for my child, objectively, than I was.) Children really are remarkably resilient.
