A very good friend of mine is currently driving almost 2 hours to work every day because he doesn't want to change the school his daughter is attending for HS. Once she's done he's got one more to contend with and he's trying to do as little as possible to disrupt his kids.

Thousands of generations to support it and only common sense to oppose it.
Hmmm.

Isn't that what I'm doing? I mean... I'm trying to help him realize he has options. And balls.

Inverse questions, yes. And "dark side" is simply a flavor.

But I don't like kids. Isn't that reason enough? And big deal? Based on overpopulation, economic segregation, education, crime, healthcare, etc... I'd say it actually is a big deal. Maybe not in each case, but deciding to reproduce is a serious choice. You might be able to swing the cost and time, but a lot of people can't or don't.
