In looking at demographics, sure someone like you may be tortured during a preemie experience and/or circumsized, or bottle fed and because of other factors, still be a healthy, contributing member of society.
But what if you throw poverty into the mix? A history of illiteracy in a family? Drug and Alcohol problems? Domestic Abuse? And all of the issues that come up with living hand to mouth?

I'll say it again, and you should chant it with me.
Correlation does not imply causation.
By your own structure you state that it is the violent birthing that pronounces the violent people. But above you state you add poverty, drugs/alcohol, illiteracy, domestic abuse. Imperical evidence shows that those alone can produce the results you tout. To blame it on circumcision or not breastfeeding in conjunction with those added items is irresponsible statistical presentation. You are purposefully being misleading to get your point across.
As far as your Dr. Crippen is concerned, it is ONE man calling for that. I would say it is equally irresponsible for him to make that case based on the fact that people have children in this freebirth manner all the time. His desire to prosecute on intent can easily be countered by those with religious beliefs that limit the need for medical practices. Just because you believe something does not imply that you get a free ride; no beliefs sometimes are challenged and one must be willing to defend that belief to the highest courts if needed.

I guess we don't have too much else to talk about at this point, so I'll leave, but thanks for the memories. It is always a rockin' good time when I go into a chat room or comment on a blog about free birth. It always inspires such good feelings, with so much tolerance, open hearted acceptance, and live and let live love being sent my way.

I too will state that you should look around here. You will find that this space of the internet is quite together in the ability to have responsible and fair discussions and debate. I don't subscribe to your viewpoint, and I shouldn't need to. I can however be respectful in disagreeing with you.
