     I don't think you seriously meant what you so flippantly
posted in net.kids about not liking kids that are your own,
and there being too many people trying to love their
children. I came from a home where my parents had a great deal
of ambivalence about how they felt about having kids in the
first place, and it did awful things to the way I
felt about myself and how worthwhile I was. Statistics seem
to indicate rather positively that a significant number of
people who are in prisons for violent or antisocial acts are
people that came from homes where there was little love or
even violence or cruelty in the place of displays of love.
     If you have children and you have no love for them
I suggest that you seek some professional advice about what
to do when they begin attempting suicide, drug abuse, anti-
social acts, or becoming manic depressives.
     If on the other hand, you were just having some fun with
your terminal when you wrote in, then I hope you were ready
for the fireworks you'll probably receive. In any case, go
shove dead sqirrels down your shorts.
