the sound of a wall crashing down

Being the more verbose of the two of us, I was easily pulling ahead in our ongoing debate. I was happily mortaring up the latest brick in my growing wall of defense when he pulled out this response:

"I am not saying that we should have children but if we don't I will, on some level, feel like a failure by Darwinian standards."

Oooh, burn! Now I have to rebuild. Perhaps an essay on how Darwinian standards are outdated in an increasingly fragile ecosystem.

I would say you should watch the movie Idiocracy, but that would just enforce SB belief that you need to have children. You have to have some smart babies to counteract all the stupid people populating the world!
