Father knows best

 An  Associated Press story in today's  paper reports  one of

    those exceptionally heinous , domestic violence crimes : " Father

    beat twins to death " ( alleged ). The children were only five years

    old, a boy and a girl. The girl's name " Emily " reminded me right

    away of the American  drama classic " Our Town " : Would you like to

    relive your 5th birthday Emily ?  "

         " I just lost it ", her father, Vincent Spik, age 37 said. He

    was in charge of getting them ready but they were just too slow. He

    went down to the cellar and got a hammer, report the Pittsburgh police.

     ( " If I had a hammer... " famous song lyrics   )

           Sometimes the  solution to a problem may seem as  monstrous as

    the problem. For years I 've felt that one of the great crimes against

    humanity was the reckless reproduction of the race by individuals who

    have - to say the least - no gift for parenthood. That is one reason

    why I still support abortion rights- better to never really exist than to

    be born unwanted.

         Is about time that society curb virtually unlimited reproduction

    rights. Should the government begin to regulate the human reproduction ?

          We give people a license  to marry. Perhaps what is really needed

    is a license to reproduce !
