    Dear Anonymous,

    Questioning the whole of child-bearing humanity and opening with a quote from Jim Morrison? Nice. Wouldn't want to over-simplify.

    Excuse me, but I'm going to go enjoy a few minutes of pure happiness by looking in on my sleeping children and being thankful to the ends of the universe that they are here. Then I guess it's back to terrible pain, loss and illness for me.

    You can go on back to the Doors. Have a great life.
