A Beautiful Contribution From Victor


I watched the Japanese-Einstein-Robot thingy and had an epiphany. No, really.


The Japanese are obsessed with robots because they are not making little Japanese. Their birthrate is far below replacement math. So we have this wonderful culture dying because they don't want to have kids. How ironic that they made an Einstein robot, a man who escaped, ....well you know.


This weary world has lost touch with fundamentals. Asians are aborting girl fetuses. Westerners are not reproducing. Africans are being devastated by AIDS.


As an aging man, who has been diagnosed with "an unpleasantness" ( forgive me, but as a boulevardier I do not discuss loathsome details) here is my advice to a world wrestling with the population question.


1. Find somebody to love.


2. No matter your sexual orientation, (S.O),there is somebody there for you.


3. If it works for your relationship, add a child to your love. Through birth or adoption. S.O. is irrelevant.


4. Most important. Be true. Subordinate the self to the family.


5. If you and yours fail in all this, you are still a family.


Even if there are just two of you who tried to have kids and failed.


Two old lovers in the same bed, warming each others' toes, please God as much as those who have been blessed with great grandchildren sitting on their knees.


HE doesn't judge us by our fertility. HE judges us by our morality.
