i really liked your response about my earth & environment entry. i feel exactly as you do, i think.
sometimes i hear people talking about the probability of a future break out of bird flu or something, killing 1/3 of the world's humans, and as sick as it sounds, i think it might be a good idea. now i'm not some sort of fascist ethnic cleanser bent on extermination or anything, but we just keep breeding like viruses and its killing our only planet!
last year about this time, a friend of a family member was pregnant. she asked me if i was ever going to have a baby. i just looked at her and said i would never breed. then she looked up at me from whatever she was doing like she knew all the answers, in a kind sort of we're-equal-but-different kind of way and said 'for moral reasons?'
i said yes.
we didn't talk much after that, but that might have just been the circumstances. i think she was one of the few people in my life to ever kind of get that about me.
it was a good interaction. we were both very different people, but very respectful and understanding of the others' point of view. no pressure, no judgement.
