Losses vs. Wins

Where my head's at.

Now, Kimi
posted something fairly controversial.

Let me say that again, my way: controversial.

That's a beautiful word, and I'm going to stand on a little box for a moment and say that babies are, indeed, "roast beef."

I'm not trying to say that they should be cooked and eaten. Good heavens, no. Raw is the way to go on that one.

What I'm attempting to say is that, like so many things in a capitalist environment, they are sold.

It's okay. Really. I even argued with myself this afternoon over whether that constituted some level of slavery. The answer was, "yes."

But that's beside the point, the point is that if you want a baby that you can't have via the normal biological means, you wind up forking over cash to someone else who has a child. Since society has labeled the direct marketing of this as "bad" we go through legalities in order to achieve an end, and lawyers get money, which is what the system is about anyway.

I'd prattle on about the cost of raising a child in this world costing money regardless, and one way or another you're going to pay (oh, yes... you will), but instead I feel the need to leave you with this.
