Can you give an example here? I think it's rather cold and callous to talk
about unlimited rights to reproduce without regard to the fact that it's not
practically possible to allow such rights to exist, nad that you're setting
false expectations that will only lead to heartbreak later (1). But perhaps
you had a rather different example in mind? Feel free to post a follow up to
a post that you think demonstrates your point, and explain.
1 - For example, I would put the Social Security ponzi into the same sort of
cold, callous, cynical classification. The politicians who created it and
who propagate it have set false expectations among an entire generation or
more, while ensuring that THEIR pensions were adequately funded.
