Choice r-tarded quote:
Vincent Ciaccio and his wife, Laura -- both 29 -- grew up passively assuming that they would have children one day. However, after the couple met in college and embarked on a life together, they realized they did not want to become parents, a decision informed in large part by environmental concerns.
While the Ciaccios would not describe themselves as hard-core environmentalists, they are both ethical vegetarians who eat locally grown food, drive a compact car and regulate their energy consumption.
"There are a lot of reasons to be vegetarian and a lot of those translate into reasons to be child-free -- choices like not supporting clear-cutting the rain forests to raise cattle," says Mr. Ciaccio, who currently lives in Boston, where his wife is at law school. "Being child-free means we don't run the risk of having children who won't be vegetarians and undo all the good choices we've made."

ok the first thing that came to mind was my grandfathers cattle ranch. As it's in West Texas, No Rainforests Were Harmed In The Making of This Beef.
Their parents should have thought of it.
I'll get 'em when I gotta moment.
The Ciaccio's sound like a pair of self-centered pricks. If you don't want to have kids, fine, but to express it as a sign of your superior humanity is ego masturbation. I never had kids because 1) I never wanted to have any, 2) I couldn't afford them even if I wanted to, and 3) the condom's didn't break. Not because I love baby seals and I recycle.
Here in California these people would shop at Whole Foods thinking they're superior to Trader Joe's shoppers. This is another empty gesture from snobs who love humanity but hate people.

I wouldn't be so sure even of that.
I like Whole Foods. Good take-out counter.
Whole foods keep you regular as well remember.
BTW: Emerson said "3) the condom's didn't break."
Does this ever happen (that is - break/burst)? I think this is one of those urban myths that gathers its own momentum and everbody ends up not questioning the validity or otherwise of the 'fact'. Obviously, for males there is a hidden subtext behind not questioning the truthfulness of the 'fact' but females seem to implicitly encourage the continued assumption that it is a fact.
Wot's all that about then?
Take out?
Take away.
Get rid of?

Nova Scotians call hilly vantage points "lookoffs." Cuz you look off, don't ya?

Yes. Yes it does.
Usually down to improper installation. Hire a professional.

Just curious: do your folk still store the coal in the bathtub?

I have 2 children that prove neither condoms nor pills nor careful planning prevent conception all the time. I also have 2 that were intentional. Guess which 2 are more trouble.
