Those who do not, cannot or elect not to have children, frequently have a pet take the same place in their lives, and your comments are profoundly inflammatory to them, even if they use a worthless 15 year-old busted pickup to take their precious companion to the vet for a simple checkup. If you feel so strongly about it, Sam, please sell your Leica gear and donate the proceeds to the impoverished people you refer to in your original message.
